Garden Spot vs Verdant
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Garden Spot reads as yellow, while Verdant reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Verdant (LRV 20) reflects noticeably more light than Garden Spot (LRV 17), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Garden Spot runs neutral while Verdant is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 15.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
