Comet vs Hancock Gray

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Comet belongs to the blue-grey family and Hancock Gray to the beige-greige family. Comet (LRV 36) reflects noticeably more light than Hancock Gray (LRV 27), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Comet runs blue while Hancock Gray is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 25.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
