Silver Fox vs Slate Blue

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Silver Fox belongs to the greige-grey family and Slate Blue to the blue family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (44 vs 43), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Silver Fox runs red while Slate Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 15.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
