Athabasca vs Paper White

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Athabasca belongs to the blue family and Paper White to the green-grey family. Paper White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Athabasca (LRV 51), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Athabasca runs cool while Paper White is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 15.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
