Grand Rapids vs Night Shade

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Grand Rapids belongs to the blue family and Night Shade to the grey family. Grand Rapids (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Night Shade (LRV 6), a difference of 56 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Grand Rapids runs blue while Night Shade is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 59.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
