Black Berry vs Cromwell Gray
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Black Berry reads as grey, while Cromwell Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cromwell Gray (LRV 20) reflects noticeably more light than Black Berry (LRV 6), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Black Berry runs blue while Cromwell Gray is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 28.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
