Blue Ice vs Honeybee

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Blue Ice reads as blue, while Honeybee reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Honeybee (LRV 67) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Ice (LRV 59), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Ice runs blue while Honeybee is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 46.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
