Adagio vs Templeton Gray

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Adagio reads as grey, while Templeton Gray reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Adagio (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Templeton Gray (LRV 24), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 13.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
