Seaside Resort vs Pure White

Seaside Resort reads as blue, while Pure White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

Seaside Resort runs blue while Pure White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 34.6, the contrast is hard to miss.
