Dark Granite vs Happy Trails

Both from PPG's palette. Dark Granite reads as grey, while Happy Trails reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Happy Trails (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Dark Granite (LRV 5), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 47.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
