Bainbridge Blue vs Silver Fox

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Bainbridge Blue reads as blue, while Silver Fox reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Silver Fox (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Bainbridge Blue (LRV 14), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bainbridge Blue runs blue while Silver Fox is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 40.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
