Darkroom vs Topsail
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Darkroom belongs to the grey family and Topsail to the blue-green family. Topsail (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Darkroom (LRV 5), a difference of 70 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Darkroom runs neutral while Topsail is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 62.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
