Showtime vs Super Nova
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Showtime belongs to the beige family and Super Nova to the grey family. Showtime (LRV 54) reflects noticeably more light than Super Nova (LRV 10), a difference of 44 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Showtime runs yellow and red while Super Nova is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 73.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
