Kale Green vs Plum Dandy
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Kale Green reads as green-grey, while Plum Dandy reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Plum Dandy (LRV 17) reflects noticeably more light than Kale Green (LRV 13), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 33.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
