Gargoyle vs White Heron

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Gargoyle belongs to the greige-grey family and White Heron to the white-yellow family. White Heron (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Gargoyle (LRV 19), a difference of 68 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gargoyle runs red while White Heron is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 45.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
