Apparition vs Comet
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Apparition reads as greige-grey, while Comet reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Apparition (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Comet (LRV 36), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Apparition runs red while Comet is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
