Antique White vs Iron Grey
Both from Jotun's palette. Antique White reads as beige-greige, while Iron Grey reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Antique White (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Iron Grey (LRV 39), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Antique White runs warm while Iron Grey is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 12.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
