Black Horizon vs Head Over Heels
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Black Horizon reads as blue-grey, while Head Over Heels reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Head Over Heels (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Black Horizon (LRV 8), a difference of 65 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Black Horizon runs blue while Head Over Heels is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 60.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
