Castle Peak Gray vs Luxe

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Castle Peak Gray reads as greige-grey, while Luxe reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Luxe (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Castle Peak Gray (LRV 15), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Castle Peak Gray runs yellow while Luxe is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 23.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
