Feather Soft vs Royal Linen

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Feather Soft belongs to the blue family and Royal Linen to the beige-yellow family. Royal Linen (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Feather Soft (LRV 57), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Feather Soft runs blue while Royal Linen is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 36.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
