Jardin vs Plummy
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Jardin reads as green, while Plummy reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Jardin (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Plummy (LRV 11), a difference of 47 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Jardin runs neutral while Plummy is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 55.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
