Leaflet vs Mysterious Mauve

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Leaflet reads as green-grey, while Mysterious Mauve reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Mysterious Mauve (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than Leaflet (LRV 30), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 21.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
