Antiquity vs Watertown
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Antiquity belongs to the beige-yellow family and Watertown to the blue family. Antiquity (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Watertown (LRV 23), a difference of 60 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Antiquity runs yellow while Watertown is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 66.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
