Distant Gray vs Eggplant

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Distant Gray belongs to the green-grey family and Eggplant to the pink family. Distant Gray (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Eggplant (LRV 11), a difference of 77 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Distant Gray runs green while Eggplant is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 63.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
