Lime Rickey vs Ryegrass

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Lime Rickey belongs to the yellow family and Ryegrass to the beige-greige family. Lime Rickey (LRV 45) reflects noticeably more light than Ryegrass (LRV 40), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lime Rickey runs neutral while Ryegrass is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 15.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
