Stargazer vs Storm Warning

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Stargazer reads as blue-grey, while Storm Warning reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Stargazer (LRV 17) reflects noticeably more light than Storm Warning (LRV 14), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Stargazer runs cool while Storm Warning is decidedly neutral, 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.
