Nypd vs Rave Raisin

Both from Behr's palette. Nypd reads as blue-grey, while Rave Raisin reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Nypd (LRV 15) reflects noticeably more light than Rave Raisin (LRV 7), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Nypd runs blue while Rave Raisin is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 21.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
