October Mist vs Winter Gray
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. October Mist reads as grey, while Winter Gray reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Winter Gray (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than October Mist (LRV 47), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. October Mist runs yellow while Winter Gray is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 17.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
