Plummy vs Reseda Green
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Plummy reads as grey, while Reseda Green reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Reseda Green (LRV 26) reflects noticeably more light than Plummy (LRV 11), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 47.0, the contrast is hard to miss.
