Grasshopper vs Luxe

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Grasshopper belongs to the beige-greige family and Luxe to the blue-grey family. Grasshopper (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Luxe (LRV 22), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Grasshopper runs yellow while Luxe is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 44.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
