Absolute Zero vs Rosewater

Both from Behr's palette. Absolute Zero reads as blue-grey, while Rosewater reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Absolute Zero (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Rosewater (LRV 61), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Absolute Zero runs blue while Rosewater is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 50.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
