Luxe vs Overcast

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Luxe belongs to the blue-grey family and Overcast to the beige-greige family. Overcast (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Luxe (LRV 22), a difference of 47 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Luxe runs blue while Overcast is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 41.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
