Old Soul vs Windy City
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Old Soul reads as beige-greige, while Windy City reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Old Soul (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Windy City (LRV 17), a difference of 33 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 29.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
