Dirty Martini vs Softened Green
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Dirty Martini reads as beige, while Softened Green reads as green-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Dirty Martini (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Softened Green (LRV 49), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dirty Martini runs warm while Softened Green is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 10.1, the contrast is hard to miss.
