Cloud Cover vs Summer Nights
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Cloud Cover belongs to the beige-greige family and Summer Nights to the blue family. Cloud Cover (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Summer Nights (LRV 11), a difference of 69 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cloud Cover runs yellow while Summer Nights is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 59.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
