Raging Sea vs Raisin

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Raging Sea reads as blue-green, while Raisin reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Raging Sea (LRV 14) reflects noticeably more light than Raisin (LRV 3), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Raging Sea runs cool while Raisin is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 33.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
