Black vs Revere Pewter
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Black reads as grey, while Revere Pewter reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Revere Pewter (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Black (LRV 5), a difference of 50 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Black runs neutral while Revere Pewter is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 60.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
