Blue Orchid vs Lemon Chiffon
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Blue Orchid belongs to the blue family and Lemon Chiffon to the beige-yellow family. Lemon Chiffon (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Orchid (LRV 50), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Orchid runs blue while Lemon Chiffon is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 31.6, the contrast is hard to miss.
