Elderberry vs Verdigreen

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Elderberry reads as pink-red, while Verdigreen reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Verdigreen (LRV 34) reflects noticeably more light than Elderberry (LRV 6), a difference of 28 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 66.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
