Montgomery White vs Sea View
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Montgomery White reads as beige-white, while Sea View reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Montgomery White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Sea View (LRV 55), a difference of 19 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Montgomery White runs red while Sea View is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 31.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
