Comet vs Penthouse

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Comet belongs to the blue-grey family and Penthouse to the beige-greige family. Penthouse (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Comet (LRV 36), a difference of 26 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Comet runs blue while Penthouse is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 22.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
