Upper West Side vs Yukon Sky

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Upper West Side belongs to the greige-grey family and Yukon Sky to the blue-grey family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (39 vs 39), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Upper West Side runs red while Yukon Sky is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
