Inspired vs White Heron

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Inspired belongs to the grey-red family and White Heron to the white-yellow family. White Heron (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Inspired (LRV 37), a difference of 50 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Inspired runs purple and red while White Heron is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
