Gull Wing Gray vs Simply White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Gull Wing Gray reads as blue-grey, while Simply White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Simply White (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Gull Wing Gray (LRV 42), a difference of 48 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gull Wing Gray runs blue while Simply White is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 26.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
