Split Pea vs Thunder
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Split Pea belongs to the beige-yellow family and Thunder to the greige-grey family. Thunder (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Split Pea (LRV 39), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Split Pea runs yellow while Thunder is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 40.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
