North Sea vs Vanilla Cookie

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. North Sea reads as blue, while Vanilla Cookie reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Vanilla Cookie (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than North Sea (LRV 6), a difference of 77 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. North Sea runs blue while Vanilla Cookie is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 75.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
