Byrd Beige vs Slate Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Byrd Beige reads as beige, while Slate Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Byrd Beige (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Slate Blue (LRV 43), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Byrd Beige runs red while Slate Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 35.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
