Thunder vs Waterloo
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Thunder reads as greige-grey, while Waterloo reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Thunder (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Waterloo (LRV 28), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Thunder runs red while Waterloo is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 41.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
