Aventurine vs Nosegay
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Aventurine belongs to the yellow family and Nosegay to the blue family. Nosegay (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Aventurine (LRV 32), a difference of 44 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aventurine runs yellow while Nosegay is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 35.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
