Griffin vs White Iris

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Griffin reads as greige-grey, while White Iris reads as blue-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Iris (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Griffin (LRV 13), a difference of 63 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Griffin runs warm while White Iris is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 48.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
