Seahorse vs Sour Apple
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Seahorse reads as beige-yellow, while Sour Apple reads as yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Seahorse (LRV 87) reflects noticeably more light than Sour Apple (LRV 76), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 16.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
