Big Country Blue vs Shooting Star
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Big Country Blue belongs to the blue family and Shooting Star to the beige family. Shooting Star (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Big Country Blue (LRV 16), a difference of 61 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Big Country Blue runs blue while Shooting Star is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 90.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
