Deep Forest Brown vs Glimmer

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Deep Forest Brown belongs to the grey family and Glimmer to the green-white family. Glimmer (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Deep Forest Brown (LRV 4), a difference of 75 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Deep Forest Brown runs neutral while Glimmer is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 69.0, the contrast is hard to miss.
