Blue Heron vs Golden Thread

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Blue Heron reads as blue, while Golden Thread reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Golden Thread (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Heron (LRV 16), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Heron runs blue while Golden Thread is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 67.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
