Featherbed vs Harlequin Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Featherbed reads as beige-yellow, while Harlequin Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Featherbed (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Harlequin Blue (LRV 38), a difference of 45 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Featherbed runs yellow while Harlequin Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 38.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
