Horizon Gray vs Scandinavian Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Horizon Gray belongs to the greige-grey family and Scandinavian Blue to the blue family. Horizon Gray (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Scandinavian Blue (LRV 12), a difference of 39 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Horizon Gray runs yellow while Scandinavian Blue is decidedly blue and purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 62.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
