Hibiscus vs Midnight Navy
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hibiscus reads as beige-yellow, while Midnight Navy reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Hibiscus (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Midnight Navy (LRV 5), a difference of 70 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Hibiscus runs yellow while Midnight Navy is decidedly blue and purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 91.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
