Adrift vs Heavenly White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Adrift belongs to the blue family and Heavenly White to the greige-white family. Heavenly White (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Adrift (LRV 37), a difference of 44 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Adrift runs cool while Heavenly White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.2, the contrast is hard to miss.
