Algonquin Trail vs Nightfall

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Algonquin Trail belongs to the beige-greige family and Nightfall to the grey family. Algonquin Trail (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Nightfall (LRV 8), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Algonquin Trail runs red while Nightfall is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 34.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
