Colorado Gray vs Conch Shell

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Colorado Gray belongs to the blue-grey family and Conch Shell to the beige-pink family. Conch Shell (LRV 54) reflects noticeably more light than Colorado Gray (LRV 44), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Colorado Gray runs blue while Conch Shell is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 27.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
