Lake Placid vs Precious Ivory
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Lake Placid reads as blue, while Precious Ivory reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Precious Ivory (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Lake Placid (LRV 65), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lake Placid runs blue while Precious Ivory is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
