Vintage Vogue vs Contemporary White

Vintage Vogue runs green while Contemporary White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
