Northern Air vs Silver Fox
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Northern Air reads as blue, while Silver Fox reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Northern Air (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Silver Fox (LRV 44), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Northern Air runs blue while Silver Fox is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.1, 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. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
