Gibraltar Cliffs vs White Down

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Gibraltar Cliffs belongs to the blue-grey family and White Down to the beige-white family. White Down (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Gibraltar Cliffs (LRV 32), a difference of 45 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gibraltar Cliffs runs blue while White Down is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
