Goldtone vs Sunshine on the Bay
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Goldtone reads as beige, while Sunshine on the Bay reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Goldtone (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Sunshine on the Bay (LRV 73), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Goldtone runs yellow and red while Sunshine on the Bay is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 17.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
