Nypd vs Whiskey Barrel
Both from Behr's palette. Nypd reads as blue-grey, while Whiskey Barrel reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Whiskey Barrel (LRV 18) reflects noticeably more light than Nypd (LRV 15), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Nypd runs blue while Whiskey Barrel is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 21.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
