Cosmopolitan vs Meditation
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Cosmopolitan belongs to the greige-grey family and Meditation to the beige-greige family. Cosmopolitan (LRV 46) reflects noticeably more light than Meditation (LRV 36), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cosmopolitan runs red while Meditation is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
