Brilliant White vs Cumulus Cloud

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Brilliant White reads as green-white, while Cumulus Cloud reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Brilliant White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Cumulus Cloud (LRV 52), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Brilliant White runs green while Cumulus Cloud is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
