Oriental Iris vs Satin Shoes
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Oriental Iris reads as blue, while Satin Shoes reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Satin Shoes (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Oriental Iris (LRV 52), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Oriental Iris runs blue while Satin Shoes is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 31.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
