Iris Bliss vs Norway Spruce

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Iris Bliss belongs to the grey family and Norway Spruce to the green-grey family. Norway Spruce (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Iris Bliss (LRV 34), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Iris Bliss runs purple while Norway Spruce is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 27.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
