Oriental Iris vs Santo Domingo Cream
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Oriental Iris belongs to the blue family and Santo Domingo Cream to the beige-yellow family. Santo Domingo Cream (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Oriental Iris (LRV 52), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Oriental Iris runs blue while Santo Domingo Cream is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 42.0, the contrast is hard to miss.
