Seaside Blue vs Studio Clay
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Seaside Blue reads as blue, while Studio Clay reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Seaside Blue (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Studio Clay (LRV 29), a difference of 19 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Seaside Blue runs blue while Studio Clay is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 33.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
