Brownstone vs Paradise View

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Brownstone belongs to the greige-grey family and Paradise View to the blue family. Paradise View (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Brownstone (LRV 8), a difference of 54 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Brownstone runs red while Paradise View is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 57.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
