Apparition vs Deep Indigo

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Apparition reads as greige-grey, while Deep Indigo reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Apparition (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Deep Indigo (LRV 8), a difference of 49 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Apparition runs red while Deep Indigo is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 50.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
