Comet vs Palace Ochre

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Comet belongs to the blue-grey family and Palace Ochre to the beige family. Comet (LRV 36) reflects noticeably more light than Palace Ochre (LRV 34), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Comet runs blue while Palace Ochre is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 50.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
