Beacon Blue vs Hawaiian Pineapple

Both from Behr's palette. Beacon Blue reads as blue, while Hawaiian Pineapple reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Hawaiian Pineapple (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Beacon Blue (LRV 9), a difference of 59 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Beacon Blue runs blue while Hawaiian Pineapple is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 103.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
