Comet vs Feather Down
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Comet reads as blue-grey, while Feather Down reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Feather Down (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Comet (LRV 36), a difference of 37 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Comet runs blue while Feather Down is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 28.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
