Arctic Shadows vs Luxe
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Arctic Shadows belongs to the grey family and Luxe to the blue-grey family. Arctic Shadows (LRV 32) reflects noticeably more light than Luxe (LRV 22), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Arctic Shadows runs yellow while Luxe is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 22.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
