Lake Tahoe vs Sunflower Fields

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Lake Tahoe belongs to the blue family and Sunflower Fields to the beige family. Sunflower Fields (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Lake Tahoe (LRV 30), a difference of 19 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lake Tahoe runs blue while Sunflower Fields is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 94.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
