Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Night Owl belongs to the grey family and Rally Green to the green family.

Night Owl runs neutral while Rally Green is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 48.1, the contrast is hard to miss.
