Evening Skyline vs Stratton Blue

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Evening Skyline reads as grey, while Stratton Blue reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Stratton Blue (LRV 38) reflects noticeably more light than Evening Skyline (LRV 27), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Evening Skyline runs red while Stratton Blue is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
