City Shadow vs Evening Gown
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. City Shadow reads as grey, while Evening Gown reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Evening Gown (LRV 41) reflects noticeably more light than City Shadow (LRV 14), a difference of 27 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. City Shadow runs green while Evening Gown is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 28.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
