Mantra vs Rock Candy

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Mantra reads as green-white, while Rock Candy reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (75 vs 75), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Mantra runs cool while Rock Candy is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.2, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
