Garden Path vs Gray Mist

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Garden Path belongs to the green-grey family and Gray Mist to the beige-greige family. Gray Mist (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Garden Path (LRV 43), a difference of 29 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Garden Path runs green while Gray Mist is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 18.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
