Lemon Twist vs Midnight Navy
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Lemon Twist reads as beige-yellow, while Midnight Navy reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lemon Twist (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Midnight Navy (LRV 5), a difference of 74 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lemon Twist runs yellow while Midnight Navy is decidedly blue and purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 87.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
