Oasis Blue vs Cement grey

Cement grey (LRV 24) reflects noticeably more light than Oasis Blue (LRV 9), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 27.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
