Steep Cliff Gray vs Titanium
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Steep Cliff Gray belongs to the blue-grey family and Titanium to the greige-grey family. Titanium (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Steep Cliff Gray (LRV 21), a difference of 48 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Steep Cliff Gray runs blue while Titanium is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 37.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
