Floral White vs Sparrow
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Floral White reads as beige-white, while Sparrow reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Floral White (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Sparrow (LRV 21), a difference of 59 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Floral White runs yellow while Sparrow is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 40.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate.
