Topsoil vs Wild Orchid

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Topsoil reads as green-grey, while Wild Orchid reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Wild Orchid (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Topsoil (LRV 8), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Topsoil runs green while Wild Orchid is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 35.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
