Bluebelle vs Distant Gray

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Bluebelle belongs to the blue family and Distant Gray to the green-grey family. Distant Gray (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Bluebelle (LRV 62), a difference of 26 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bluebelle runs blue while Distant Gray is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 24.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
