Amorous vs Cement Gray

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Cement Gray (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Amorous (LRV 27), a difference of 33 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Amorous runs purple while Cement Gray is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 25.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
