Flint vs Pleasant Valley

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Flint belongs to the grey family and Pleasant Valley to the green-grey family. Pleasant Valley (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Flint (LRV 12), a difference of 39 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Flint runs blue while Pleasant Valley is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 38.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
