Blue Veil vs Graphite

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Blue Veil reads as blue-grey, while Graphite reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Blue Veil (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Graphite (LRV 8), a difference of 66 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 59.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
