Blue Macaw vs Sunny Days

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Blue Macaw reads as blue, while Sunny Days reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sunny Days (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Macaw (LRV 18), a difference of 46 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Macaw runs blue while Sunny Days is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 92.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
