Brillant blue (LRV 15) reflects noticeably more light than Yellow olive (LRV 8), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 35.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
