Green Glade vs Pine Needle
Both from Dulux's palette. Green Glade reads as green-grey, while Pine Needle reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Green Glade (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Pine Needle (LRV 7), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Green Glade runs warm while Pine Needle is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 34.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
