After Midnight vs Cloud Cover
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. After Midnight reads as blue-grey, while Cloud Cover reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cloud Cover (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than After Midnight (LRV 6), a difference of 74 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. After Midnight runs blue while Cloud Cover is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 69.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
