Jamestown Blue vs Pristine
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Jamestown Blue reads as blue, while Pristine reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pristine (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Jamestown Blue (LRV 34), a difference of 41 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Jamestown Blue runs blue while Pristine is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 33.1, 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. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
