Night Train vs Steam

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Night Train belongs to the grey family and Steam to the beige-greige family. Steam (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Night Train (LRV 23), a difference of 61 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Night Train runs neutral while Steam is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 40.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
