Algonquin Trail vs Blue Spruce
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Algonquin Trail reads as beige-greige, while Blue Spruce reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Algonquin Trail (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Spruce (LRV 17), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Algonquin Trail runs red while Blue Spruce is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 31.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
