Brilliant White vs Shaker Gray
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Brilliant White reads as green-white, while Shaker Gray reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Brilliant White (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Shaker Gray (LRV 26), a difference of 58 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Brilliant White runs green while Shaker Gray is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 37.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
