Soft Jazz vs Upper West Side

Soft Jazz and Upper West Side come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Soft Jazz reads as blue, while Upper West Side reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 37 vs 39 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Soft Jazz leans blue, Upper West Side reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 26.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
