Evening Gown vs Grandma's China
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Evening Gown reads as greige-grey, while Grandma's China reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Grandma's China (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Evening Gown (LRV 41), a difference of 32 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Evening Gown runs red while Grandma's China is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
