Obi Lilac vs Olivetone
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Obi Lilac reads as grey, while Olivetone reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Obi Lilac (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Olivetone (LRV 11), a difference of 28 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Obi Lilac runs cool while Olivetone is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 44.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
