Comet vs Lancaster Whitewash

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Comet reads as blue-grey, while Lancaster Whitewash reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lancaster Whitewash (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Comet (LRV 36), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Comet runs blue while Lancaster Whitewash is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
