Museum Piece vs Squirrel Tail

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. Museum Piece (LRV 41) reflects noticeably more light than Squirrel Tail (LRV 25), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Museum Piece runs red while Squirrel Tail is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 14.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
