Puritan Gray vs Through the Looking Glass
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Through the Looking Glass (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Puritan Gray (LRV 34), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Puritan Gray runs green while Through the Looking Glass is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 12.8, the contrast is hard to miss.
