Great Graphite vs Heath Gray
Both from Behr's palette. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Heath Gray (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Great Graphite (LRV 38), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Great Graphite runs yellow while Heath Gray is decidedly green and yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 13.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
