Coastal Fog vs Equestrian Gray

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Coastal Fog reads as beige-greige, while Equestrian Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Coastal Fog (LRV 53) reflects noticeably more light than Equestrian Gray (LRV 25), a difference of 27 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Coastal Fog runs yellow while Equestrian Gray is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 22.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
