Normandy vs Sonnet

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Normandy belongs to the blue-grey family and Sonnet to the beige-greige family. Sonnet (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Normandy (LRV 22), a difference of 49 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Normandy runs blue while Sonnet is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 39.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
