Amherst Gray vs Floral White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Amherst Gray reads as grey, while Floral White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Floral White (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Amherst Gray (LRV 19), a difference of 61 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 43.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
