Shadow vs Wire Frame Glasses

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. Shadow (LRV 9) reflects noticeably more light than Wire Frame Glasses (LRV 6), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Shadow runs cool while Wire Frame Glasses is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 11.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
