Alluring White vs Mount Etna
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Alluring White reads as beige-white, while Mount Etna reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Alluring White (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Mount Etna (LRV 6), a difference of 71 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Alluring White runs warm while Mount Etna is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 62.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
