Night Owl vs Rally Green

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Night Owl belongs to the grey family and Rally Green to the green family. Rally Green (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Night Owl (LRV 13), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. 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. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
