Leaflet vs Obi Lilac

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Leaflet reads as green-grey, while Obi Lilac reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Obi Lilac (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Leaflet (LRV 30), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Leaflet runs neutral while Obi Lilac is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
