Flint vs Key Pearl

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Flint reads as grey, while Key Pearl reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Key Pearl (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Flint (LRV 12), a difference of 66 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Flint runs blue while Key Pearl is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 54.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
