Lightning White vs Symphony Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Lightning White reads as beige-white, while Symphony Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lightning White (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Symphony Blue (LRV 6), a difference of 80 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lightning White runs yellow while Symphony Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 81.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
