Soft Biscuit vs Winter Gray

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Soft Biscuit belongs to the beige-yellow family and Winter Gray to the blue-grey family. Soft Biscuit (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Winter Gray (LRV 62), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Soft Biscuit runs yellow while Winter Gray is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
