Perspective vs Wild Orchid

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Perspective (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Wild Orchid (LRV 25), a difference of 35 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Perspective runs green while Wild Orchid is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 32.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
