Agapanthus vs Sunbeam Yellow
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Agapanthus reads as blue, while Sunbeam Yellow reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sunbeam Yellow (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Agapanthus (LRV 56), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Agapanthus runs cool while Sunbeam Yellow is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 44.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
