Bachelor Blue vs Harmony

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Bachelor Blue belongs to the blue-grey family and Harmony to the beige family. Harmony (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Bachelor Blue (LRV 24), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bachelor Blue runs blue while Harmony is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 38.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
