Hearthstone vs Vapor Trails
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hearthstone reads as grey, while Vapor Trails reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Vapor Trails (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Hearthstone (LRV 27), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Hearthstone runs blue while Vapor Trails is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 25.8, 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.
