Black Magic vs Coffee House

Both from PPG's palette. Black Magic reads as grey, while Coffee House reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Coffee House (LRV 11) reflects noticeably more light than Black Magic (LRV 4), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 17.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
