Cascade Mountains vs North Cascades
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cascade Mountains reads as yellow, while North Cascades reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cascade Mountains (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than North Cascades (LRV 55), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cascade Mountains runs yellow while North Cascades is decidedly blue and purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 17.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
