Abyss vs Briarwood
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Abyss belongs to the blue-grey family and Briarwood to the greige-grey family. Briarwood (LRV 32) reflects noticeably more light than Abyss (LRV 7), a difference of 24 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Abyss runs blue while Briarwood is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 36.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
