Habitat vs Hyacinth Tint

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Habitat belongs to the greige-grey family and Hyacinth Tint to the blue family. Hyacinth Tint (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Habitat (LRV 21), a difference of 38 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Habitat runs warm while Hyacinth Tint is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 35.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
