Approaching Storm vs Spring Morning

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Approaching Storm reads as blue-grey, while Spring Morning reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Spring Morning (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Approaching Storm (LRV 9), a difference of 51 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Approaching Storm runs blue and purple while Spring Morning is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 61.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
