Soho Loft vs Strand of Pearls®
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Soho Loft reads as grey, while Strand of Pearls® reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Strand of Pearls® (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Soho Loft (LRV 30), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Soho Loft runs red while Strand of Pearls® is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 27.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
