Labrador Blue vs Timid White

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Labrador Blue belongs to the blue family and Timid White to the beige-white family. Timid White (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Labrador Blue (LRV 33), a difference of 49 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Labrador Blue runs blue while Timid White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 37.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
