Old Glory vs Thunder

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Old Glory belongs to the blue family and Thunder to the greige-grey family. Thunder (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Old Glory (LRV 16), a difference of 32 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Old Glory runs blue while Thunder is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 48.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
