Silverplate vs Starry Night

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Silverplate belongs to the grey family and Starry Night to the blue-grey family. Starry Night (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Silverplate (LRV 53), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Silverplate runs neutral while Starry Night is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 10.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
