Night Shade vs Temptation
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Night Shade belongs to the grey family and Temptation to the blue-grey family. Temptation (LRV 11) reflects noticeably more light than Night Shade (LRV 6), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Night Shade runs red while Temptation is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 14.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate.
