Citrus Orange vs Fairview Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Citrus Orange reads as beige, while Fairview Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Fairview Blue (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Citrus Orange (LRV 35), a difference of 28 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Citrus Orange runs red while Fairview Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 94.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
