Abstracta vs Evening Blue

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Abstracta reads as beige-yellow, while Evening Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Abstracta (LRV 58) reflects noticeably more light than Evening Blue (LRV 10), a difference of 48 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Abstracta runs yellow while Evening Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 133.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
