Comet vs Spice Gold

Comet and Spice Gold come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Comet reads as blue-grey, while Spice Gold reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 36 vs 38 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Comet leans blue, Spice Gold reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 30.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
