Alfresco vs Night Shade
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Alfresco belongs to the blue family and Night Shade to the grey family. Alfresco (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Night Shade (LRV 6), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Alfresco runs blue while Night Shade is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 32.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
