Mineral Alloy vs Upper West Side
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Mineral Alloy belongs to the blue-grey family and Upper West Side to the greige-grey family. Upper West Side (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Mineral Alloy (LRV 28), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mineral Alloy runs blue while Upper West Side is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 18.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
