Blue Spruce vs Knitting Basket
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Blue Spruce reads as blue-grey, while Knitting Basket reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Knitting Basket (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Spruce (LRV 17), a difference of 32 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Spruce runs blue while Knitting Basket is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 32.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
