Pickle vs Springtime

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Pickle belongs to the green family and Springtime to the beige-yellow family. Springtime (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Pickle (LRV 32), a difference of 45 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Pickle runs neutral while Springtime is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
