Metropolitan vs White Winged Dove
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Metropolitan belongs to the grey family and White Winged Dove to the beige-greige family. White Winged Dove (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Metropolitan (LRV 50), a difference of 25 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Metropolitan runs green while White Winged Dove is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 13.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
