Crème Fraiche vs Seattle Gray
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Crème Fraiche reads as beige-yellow, while Seattle Gray reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Crème Fraiche (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Seattle Gray (LRV 73), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Crème Fraiche runs warm while Seattle Gray is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 17.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
