Ice Mist vs Sharkskin

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Ice Mist belongs to the green-white family and Sharkskin to the grey family. Ice Mist (LRV 89) reflects noticeably more light than Sharkskin (LRV 16), a difference of 73 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Ice Mist runs neutral while Sharkskin is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 51.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
