Chiswell Blue vs Simple Pleasures

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Chiswell Blue reads as blue-grey, while Simple Pleasures reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Simple Pleasures (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Chiswell Blue (LRV 30), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Chiswell Blue runs blue while Simple Pleasures is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 36.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
