Montpelier vs Night Shade
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Montpelier reads as blue-grey, while Night Shade reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Montpelier (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Night Shade (LRV 6), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Montpelier runs blue while Night Shade is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
