Aplomb vs Rhine River

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Aplomb reads as grey, while Rhine River reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Rhine River (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Aplomb (LRV 21), a difference of 26 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aplomb runs red while Rhine River is decidedly green and blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 33.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
