Comet vs Smoked Truffle

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Comet reads as blue-grey, while Smoked Truffle reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Comet (LRV 36) reflects noticeably more light than Smoked Truffle (LRV 26), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Comet runs blue while Smoked Truffle is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 17.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
