Cognac Snifter vs Mountain Mist
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cognac Snifter reads as beige, while Mountain Mist reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Mountain Mist (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Cognac Snifter (LRV 27), a difference of 44 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cognac Snifter runs red while Mountain Mist is decidedly green and blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 47.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
