Refreshing Tea vs Vanilla Ice Cream
Both from Behr's palette. Refreshing Tea reads as beige-yellow, while Vanilla Ice Cream reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Vanilla Ice Cream (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Refreshing Tea (LRV 71), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Refreshing Tea runs yellow while Vanilla Ice Cream is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
