Palladian Blue vs Vanilla Ice Cream
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Palladian Blue belongs to the blue-green family and Vanilla Ice Cream to the beige family. Vanilla Ice Cream (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Palladian Blue (LRV 60), a difference of 26 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Palladian Blue runs green while Vanilla Ice Cream is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
