Upper West Side vs Wolf Gray

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Upper West Side reads as greige-grey, while Wolf Gray reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Upper West Side (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Wolf Gray (LRV 21), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Upper West Side runs red while Wolf Gray is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 21.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
