Griffin vs Lobelia

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Griffin belongs to the greige-grey family and Lobelia to the blue family. Lobelia (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Griffin (LRV 13), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Griffin runs warm while Lobelia is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 36.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
