Antique Pewter vs Sharkskin
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. Antique Pewter (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Sharkskin (LRV 16), a difference of 9 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 11.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
