French Moire vs Palisade

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, French Moire belongs to the blue family and Palisade to the greige-grey family. French Moire (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Palisade (LRV 35), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. French Moire runs cool while Palisade is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
