Chamomile vs Fancy Pants

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Chamomile reads as beige-yellow, while Fancy Pants reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Chamomile (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Fancy Pants (LRV 15), a difference of 45 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Chamomile runs yellow while Fancy Pants is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 99.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
