New Lime vs Summer Shower
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. New Lime reads as beige-yellow, while Summer Shower reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Summer Shower (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than New Lime (LRV 60), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. New Lime runs yellow while Summer Shower is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 84.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
