Evening Dove vs River Rock

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Evening Dove reads as blue-grey, while River Rock reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Evening Dove (LRV 12) reflects noticeably more light than River Rock (LRV 7), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Evening Dove runs blue while River Rock is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
