Instinct vs Mt. Rainier Gray

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Instinct belongs to the blue family and Mt. Rainier Gray to the blue-grey family. Mt. Rainier Gray (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Instinct (LRV 55), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 3.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
