Prussian Blue vs Humble Yellow

Prussian Blue runs blue while Humble Yellow is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 58.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
