Crystalline vs Grappa

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Crystalline belongs to the green-grey family and Grappa to the grey family. Crystalline (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Grappa (LRV 9), a difference of 54 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Crystalline runs green while Grappa is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 56.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
