Arsenic vs Sugared Almond

Both from Farrow & Ball's palette. Hue-wise, Arsenic belongs to the green family and Sugared Almond to the pink-purple family. Sugared Almond (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Arsenic (LRV 37), a difference of 19 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Arsenic runs cool while Sugared Almond is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 33.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
