Iced Lavender vs Refined

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Iced Lavender reads as blue-grey, while Refined reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Refined (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Iced Lavender (LRV 65), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Iced Lavender runs blue and purple while Refined is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 15.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
