Crooked River vs Mountain Fig

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Crooked River reads as grey, while Mountain Fig reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Crooked River (LRV 19) reflects noticeably more light than Mountain Fig (LRV 4), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Crooked River runs neutral while Mountain Fig is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
