Imperial Gray vs Raspberry Ice

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Imperial Gray reads as green-grey, while Raspberry Ice reads as pink-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Raspberry Ice (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Imperial Gray (LRV 47), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Imperial Gray runs green while Raspberry Ice is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
