Normandy vs Quietude
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Normandy reads as blue-grey, while Quietude reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Quietude (LRV 38) reflects noticeably more light than Normandy (LRV 22), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Normandy runs blue while Quietude is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 26.7, 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.
