Absolute Zero vs Mystere

Both from Behr's palette. Hue-wise, Absolute Zero belongs to the blue-grey family and Mystere to the grey family. Absolute Zero (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Mystere (LRV 25), a difference of 39 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Absolute Zero runs blue while Mystere is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
