Night Shade vs Paradiso
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Night Shade belongs to the grey family and Paradiso to the blue family. Paradiso (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Night Shade (LRV 6), a difference of 45 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Night Shade runs red while Paradiso is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 53.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
