Oat Milk vs Olivetone
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Oat Milk belongs to the beige-greige family and Olivetone to the green family. Oat Milk (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Olivetone (LRV 11), a difference of 59 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Oat Milk runs warm while Olivetone is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 50.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
