Glimmer vs Maxi Teal

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Glimmer reads as green-white, while Maxi Teal reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Glimmer (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Maxi Teal (LRV 13), a difference of 66 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 53.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
