Mirage White vs Pleasant Valley
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Mirage White reads as white, while Pleasant Valley reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Mirage White (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Pleasant Valley (LRV 50), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mirage White runs red while Pleasant Valley is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 18.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
