Iris Bliss vs Silver Crest

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Iris Bliss reads as grey, while Silver Crest reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Silver Crest (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Iris Bliss (LRV 34), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Iris Bliss runs purple while Silver Crest is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
