Griffin vs Respite

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Griffin belongs to the greige-grey family and Respite to the blue family. Respite (LRV 43) reflects noticeably more light than Griffin (LRV 13), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Griffin runs warm while Respite is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 35.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
