Adventure Orange vs Lupine

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Adventure Orange reads as beige, while Lupine reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Adventure Orange (LRV 42) reflects noticeably more light than Lupine (LRV 16), a difference of 26 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Adventure Orange runs warm while Lupine is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 77.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
