Cromwell Gray vs Evening Sky

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Cromwell Gray belongs to the greige-grey family and Evening Sky to the blue-grey family. Cromwell Gray (LRV 20) reflects noticeably more light than Evening Sky (LRV 7), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cromwell Gray runs red while Evening Sky is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 26.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
