Limelight vs Magic Dust
Both from PPG's palette. Limelight reads as green, while Magic Dust reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Limelight (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Magic Dust (LRV 21), a difference of 38 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 32.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
