Comet vs Porter Ridge Tan

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Comet reads as blue-grey, while Porter Ridge Tan reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (36 vs 34), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Comet runs blue while Porter Ridge Tan is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 41.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
