October Mist vs Venetian Portico
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, October Mist belongs to the grey family and Venetian Portico to the beige-greige family. October Mist (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Venetian Portico (LRV 42), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. October Mist runs yellow while Venetian Portico is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 12.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
