Oystershell vs Sunrise
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Oystershell belongs to the green-grey family and Sunrise to the blue family. Oystershell (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Sunrise (LRV 48), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Oystershell runs neutral while Sunrise is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
