Lemon Chiffon vs Spring Iris

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Lemon Chiffon belongs to the beige-yellow family and Spring Iris to the blue-purple family. Lemon Chiffon (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Spring Iris (LRV 65), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lemon Chiffon runs yellow while Spring Iris is decidedly blue and purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 22.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
