Jocular Green vs Shoji White

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Jocular Green reads as green, while Shoji White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Shoji White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Jocular Green (LRV 71), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Jocular Green runs cool while Shoji White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 12.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
