Harmonic Tan vs Sassy Green

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Harmonic Tan reads as beige, while Sassy Green reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Harmonic Tan (LRV 45) reflects noticeably more light than Sassy Green (LRV 40), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 13.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
