Polaris Blue vs Royal Silk
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Polaris Blue reads as blue, while Royal Silk reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Royal Silk (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Polaris Blue (LRV 29), a difference of 49 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Polaris Blue runs blue while Royal Silk is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 37.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
