Lounge Green vs Obi Lilac

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Lounge Green reads as green, while Obi Lilac reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Obi Lilac (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Lounge Green (LRV 36), a difference of 3 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 37.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
