North Cascades vs Spring Meadow

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. North Cascades reads as blue-grey, while Spring Meadow reads as yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (55 vs 57), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. North Cascades runs blue and purple while Spring Meadow is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 24.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
