Comet vs Crownsville Gray
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Comet belongs to the blue-grey family and Crownsville Gray to the greige-grey family. Comet (LRV 36) reflects noticeably more light than Crownsville Gray (LRV 22), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Comet runs blue while Crownsville Gray is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 24.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
