Agapanthus vs Spatial White

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Agapanthus belongs to the blue family and Spatial White to the grey-white family. Spatial White (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Agapanthus (LRV 56), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Agapanthus runs cool while Spatial White is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
