Beneath the Clouds vs Super Nova

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Beneath the Clouds belongs to the blue-grey family and Super Nova to the grey family. Beneath the Clouds (LRV 42) reflects noticeably more light than Super Nova (LRV 10), a difference of 32 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Beneath the Clouds runs blue while Super Nova is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 38.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
