Amsterdam vs Peruvian Chili
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Amsterdam reads as blue-grey, while Peruvian Chili reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Amsterdam (LRV 29) reflects noticeably more light than Peruvian Chili (LRV 23), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Amsterdam runs blue while Peruvian Chili is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 57.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
