Natural White vs Ocean Abyss
Both from Behr's palette. Natural White reads as beige-white, while Ocean Abyss reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Natural White (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Ocean Abyss (LRV 7), a difference of 83 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Natural White runs warm while Ocean Abyss is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 65.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
