Luxe vs Pine Grove

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Luxe reads as blue-grey, while Pine Grove reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (22 vs 19), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Luxe runs blue while Pine Grove is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
