Jardin vs Shell White

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Jardin reads as green, while Shell White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Shell White (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Jardin (LRV 59), a difference of 24 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Jardin runs neutral while Shell White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
