Antiquity vs Loch Blue
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Antiquity reads as beige, while Loch Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Antiquity (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Loch Blue (LRV 16), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Antiquity runs warm while Loch Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 62.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
