Frisky Blue vs Orioles

Both from Behr's palette. Frisky Blue reads as blue, while Orioles reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (37 vs 37), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Frisky Blue runs blue while Orioles is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 72.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
