After the Rain vs Palisade
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. After the Rain reads as blue, while Palisade reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. After the Rain (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Palisade (LRV 35), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. After the Rain runs cool while Palisade is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 27.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
