Mountain Fig vs Shagreen
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Mountain Fig reads as blue-grey, while Shagreen reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Shagreen (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Mountain Fig (LRV 4), a difference of 52 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mountain Fig runs cool while Shagreen is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 63.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
