Blue Gossamer vs Moonlit Beach

Both from Behr's palette. Hue-wise, Blue Gossamer belongs to the blue family and Moonlit Beach to the beige family. Moonlit Beach (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Gossamer (LRV 66), a difference of 22 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Gossamer runs blue while Moonlit Beach is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 15.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
