Blue Heron vs Sheep's Wool

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Blue Heron belongs to the blue family and Sheep's Wool to the greige-grey family. Sheep's Wool (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Heron (LRV 16), a difference of 58 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Heron runs blue while Sheep's Wool is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 48.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
