Adirondack Blue vs Translucent Silk

Both from Behr's palette. Hue-wise, Adirondack Blue belongs to the blue-grey family and Translucent Silk to the beige-greige family. Translucent Silk (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Adirondack Blue (LRV 22), a difference of 47 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Adirondack Blue runs blue while Translucent Silk is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 35.7, the contrast is hard to miss.
