Briarwood vs Celestia Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Briarwood reads as greige-grey, while Celestia Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Celestia Blue (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Briarwood (LRV 32), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Briarwood runs red while Celestia Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 27.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
