Comet vs Silver Marlin

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Comet belongs to the blue-grey family and Silver Marlin to the green-grey family. Silver Marlin (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Comet (LRV 36), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Comet runs blue while Silver Marlin is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 17.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
