Old World vs Stormy Sky

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Old World belongs to the pink-red family and Stormy Sky to the grey family. Old World (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Stormy Sky (LRV 14), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Old World runs red while Stormy Sky is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 53.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
