Gray Cardigan vs Hidden Sanctuary
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Gray Cardigan reads as grey, while Hidden Sanctuary reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Hidden Sanctuary (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Gray Cardigan (LRV 35), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gray Cardigan runs green and blue while Hidden Sanctuary is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
