Beneath the Clouds vs Gotham
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Beneath the Clouds reads as blue-grey, while Gotham reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Beneath the Clouds (LRV 42) reflects noticeably more light than Gotham (LRV 22), a difference of 19 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Beneath the Clouds runs blue while Gotham is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
