Cloud White vs Meridian Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cloud White reads as beige-white, while Meridian Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cloud White (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Meridian Blue (LRV 26), a difference of 60 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cloud White runs warm while Meridian Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 52.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
