Faded Denim vs Suntan Yellow
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Faded Denim reads as blue, while Suntan Yellow reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Suntan Yellow (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Faded Denim (LRV 52), a difference of 19 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Faded Denim runs blue while Suntan Yellow is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 55.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
