Faded Denim vs White Heron
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Faded Denim reads as blue, while White Heron reads as white-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Heron (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Faded Denim (LRV 52), a difference of 35 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Faded Denim runs blue while White Heron is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
