Hale Navy vs Pine Grove

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Hale Navy belongs to the blue-grey family and Pine Grove to the beige-greige family. Pine Grove (LRV 19) reflects noticeably more light than Hale Navy (LRV 8), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Hale Navy runs blue while Pine Grove is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
