Bone Black vs Travers Red

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Bone Black belongs to the grey family and Travers Red to the pink-red family. Bone Black (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Travers Red (LRV 14), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bone Black runs yellow while Travers Red is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 52.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
