Normandy vs Old Soul

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Normandy belongs to the blue-grey family and Old Soul to the beige-greige family. Old Soul (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Normandy (LRV 22), a difference of 28 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Normandy runs blue while Old Soul is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
