Flint vs Paradiso

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Flint reads as grey, while Paradiso reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Paradiso (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Flint (LRV 12), a difference of 39 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 39.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
