Lily White vs Old Gold
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Lily White belongs to the blue-white family and Old Gold to the beige family. Lily White (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Old Gold (LRV 43), a difference of 37 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lily White runs blue while Old Gold is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 51.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
