Cream vs Jet Stream

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cream reads as beige, while Jet Stream reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cream (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Jet Stream (LRV 66), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cream runs red while Jet Stream is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 28.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
