Antique White vs Starry Night

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Antique White belongs to the beige-white family and Starry Night to the blue-grey family. Antique White (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Starry Night (LRV 69), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Antique White runs warm while Starry Night is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 15.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
