Starry Night Blue vs Upper West Side
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Starry Night Blue reads as blue, while Upper West Side reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Upper West Side (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Starry Night Blue (LRV 8), a difference of 32 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Starry Night Blue runs blue while Upper West Side is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 57.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
