Opera Glass vs Sealskin

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Opera Glass belongs to the green family and Sealskin to the greige-grey family. Opera Glass (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Sealskin (LRV 6), a difference of 80 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Opera Glass runs cool while Sealskin is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 66.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
