Comet vs Herbal Escape

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Comet belongs to the blue-grey family and Herbal Escape to the greige-grey family. Herbal Escape (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than Comet (LRV 36), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Comet runs blue while Herbal Escape is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
