Himalayan Trek vs Temptation

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Himalayan Trek belongs to the greige-grey family and Temptation to the blue-grey family. Himalayan Trek (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Temptation (LRV 11), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Himalayan Trek runs red while Temptation is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 38.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
