Green Earth vs Starry Night

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Green Earth reads as green-greige, while Starry Night reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Starry Night (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Green Earth (LRV 31), a difference of 38 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Green Earth runs warm while Starry Night is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 28.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
