Restoration vs Tarragon

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Restoration reads as greige-grey, while Tarragon reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Restoration (LRV 38) reflects noticeably more light than Tarragon (LRV 7), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Restoration runs warm while Tarragon is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 37.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
