Brushed Aluminum vs Spring Break

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Brushed Aluminum reads as greige-grey, while Spring Break reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Brushed Aluminum (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Spring Break (LRV 46), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Brushed Aluminum runs yellow while Spring Break is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 15.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
