Gray Wisp vs Wizard
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Gray Wisp reads as green-grey, while Wizard reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Gray Wisp (LRV 54) reflects noticeably more light than Wizard (LRV 8), a difference of 46 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gray Wisp runs neutral while Wizard is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 57.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
