Gray Shower vs Soft Chinchilla
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Gray Shower belongs to the blue-grey family and Soft Chinchilla to the blue family. Soft Chinchilla (LRV 53) reflects noticeably more light than Gray Shower (LRV 18), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 29.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
