Feather Soft vs Upper West Side

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Feather Soft belongs to the blue family and Upper West Side to the greige-grey family. Feather Soft (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Upper West Side (LRV 39), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Feather Soft runs blue while Upper West Side is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 22.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
