Fancy Pants vs Lime Ricky
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Fancy Pants reads as blue, while Lime Ricky reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lime Ricky (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Fancy Pants (LRV 15), a difference of 70 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Fancy Pants runs blue while Lime Ricky is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 72.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
