Sunny Side Up vs Traditional Blue
Both from Behr's palette. Sunny Side Up reads as beige, while Traditional Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sunny Side Up (LRV 45) reflects noticeably more light than Traditional Blue (LRV 9), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sunny Side Up runs red while Traditional Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 112.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
