Comet vs Cromwell Gray

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Comet reads as blue-grey, while Cromwell Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Comet (LRV 36) reflects noticeably more light than Cromwell Gray (LRV 20), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Comet runs blue while Cromwell Gray is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 24.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
