Pageant Pansy vs Thin Ice

Both from PPG's palette. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Thin Ice (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Pageant Pansy (LRV 13), a difference of 57 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 49.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
