Calm vs Comet

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Calm belongs to the greige-white family and Comet to the blue-grey family. Calm (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Comet (LRV 36), a difference of 40 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Calm runs red while Comet is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 26.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
