Midnight Oil vs Woodcliff Lake
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Midnight Oil reads as grey, while Woodcliff Lake reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Woodcliff Lake (LRV 17) reflects noticeably more light than Midnight Oil (LRV 8), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Midnight Oil runs blue while Woodcliff Lake is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
