Grappa vs Topsoil

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Grappa belongs to the grey family and Topsoil to the green-grey family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (9 vs 8), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Grappa runs purple while Topsoil is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
