Chantilly Lace vs Instinct
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Chantilly Lace reads as green-white, while Instinct reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Chantilly Lace (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Instinct (LRV 55), a difference of 35 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Chantilly Lace runs green while Instinct is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
