Blue Spruce vs Tucson Winds

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Blue Spruce reads as blue-grey, while Tucson Winds reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Tucson Winds (LRV 65) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Spruce (LRV 17), a difference of 48 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Spruce runs blue while Tucson Winds is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 41.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
