Comet vs Cork

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Comet reads as blue-grey, while Cork reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cork (LRV 45) reflects noticeably more light than Comet (LRV 36), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Comet runs blue while Cork is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 45.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
