Touch of Gray vs White Drifts
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Touch of Gray reads as grey, while White Drifts reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Drifts (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Touch of Gray (LRV 69), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Touch of Gray runs purple while White Drifts is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 11.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
