Lake Tahoe vs White Marigold
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Lake Tahoe reads as blue, while White Marigold reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Marigold (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Lake Tahoe (LRV 30), a difference of 47 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lake Tahoe runs blue while White Marigold is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 54.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
