Raisin vs Vintage Vessel

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Raisin reads as grey, while Vintage Vessel reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Vintage Vessel (LRV 41) reflects noticeably more light than Raisin (LRV 3), a difference of 38 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Raisin runs warm while Vintage Vessel is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 54.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
