Coastline vs Elephant Tusk
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Coastline belongs to the blue-grey family and Elephant Tusk to the beige-yellow family. Elephant Tusk (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Coastline (LRV 34), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Coastline runs blue while Elephant Tusk is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 31.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
