Hale Navy vs Pine Brook

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hale Navy reads as blue-grey, while Pine Brook reads as yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pine Brook (LRV 18) reflects noticeably more light than Hale Navy (LRV 8), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Hale Navy runs blue while Pine Brook is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 32.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
