Slate Blue vs Sundial
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Slate Blue reads as blue, while Sundial reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sundial (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Slate Blue (LRV 43), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Slate Blue runs blue while Sundial is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 32.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
