Chicago Blues vs Fine China
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Chicago Blues reads as blue, while Fine China reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Fine China (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Chicago Blues (LRV 18), a difference of 68 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Chicago Blues runs blue while Fine China is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 63.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
