Brownstone vs Spa Day

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Brownstone reads as greige-grey, while Spa Day reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Spa Day (LRV 33) reflects noticeably more light than Brownstone (LRV 8), a difference of 25 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Brownstone runs red while Spa Day is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 44.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
