Catnip vs Horseradish
Both from PPG's palette. Catnip reads as green, while Horseradish reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Horseradish (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Catnip (LRV 35), a difference of 46 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 31.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
