Decorator's White vs North Sea
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Decorator's White reads as green-white, while North Sea reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Decorator's White (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than North Sea (LRV 6), a difference of 77 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Decorator's White runs neutral while North Sea is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 70.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
