Refreshing Tea vs Twinkling Lights
Both from Behr's palette. Refreshing Tea reads as beige-yellow, while Twinkling Lights reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Twinkling Lights (LRV 91) reflects noticeably more light than Refreshing Tea (LRV 71), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Refreshing Tea runs yellow while Twinkling Lights is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 23.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
