Grand Rapids vs Nautilus Shell

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Grand Rapids reads as blue, while Nautilus Shell reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Nautilus Shell (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Grand Rapids (LRV 62), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Grand Rapids runs blue while Nautilus Shell is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 23.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
