Cloud Cover vs Riviera Azure
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cloud Cover reads as beige-greige, while Riviera Azure reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cloud Cover (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Riviera Azure (LRV 45), a difference of 35 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cloud Cover runs yellow while Riviera Azure is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
