Iris Bliss vs Rainstorm

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Iris Bliss (LRV 34) reflects noticeably more light than Rainstorm (LRV 30), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Iris Bliss runs purple while Rainstorm is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
