Cloud Cover vs Deep Ocean

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cloud Cover reads as beige-greige, while Deep Ocean reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cloud Cover (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Deep Ocean (LRV 14), a difference of 66 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cloud Cover runs yellow while Deep Ocean is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 59.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
