Alabaster vs Baltimore Sky

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Alabaster reads as beige-greige, while Baltimore Sky reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Alabaster (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Baltimore Sky (LRV 37), a difference of 48 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Alabaster runs warm while Baltimore Sky is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 43.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
