Olivetone vs Tungsten
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Olivetone belongs to the green family and Tungsten to the beige-greige family. Olivetone (LRV 11) reflects noticeably more light than Tungsten (LRV 8), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Olivetone runs neutral while Tungsten is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 18.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
