Deep Sea vs Vale Mist

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Deep Sea reads as blue-green, while Vale Mist reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Vale Mist (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Deep Sea (LRV 15), a difference of 41 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Deep Sea runs green while Vale Mist is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 42.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
