Collingwood vs Icicle

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Icicle (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Collingwood (LRV 62), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Collingwood runs warm while Icicle is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 10.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
