Bohemian Black vs Porch Ceiling
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Bohemian Black reads as grey, while Porch Ceiling reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Porch Ceiling (LRV 53) reflects noticeably more light than Bohemian Black (LRV 4), a difference of 49 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bohemian Black runs neutral while Porch Ceiling is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 57.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
