Agreeable Gray vs Liquid Blue
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Agreeable Gray reads as greige-grey, while Liquid Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (60 vs 60), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Agreeable Gray runs warm while Liquid Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
