Avid Apricot vs Blue Hill
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Avid Apricot belongs to the beige family and Blue Hill to the blue family. Blue Hill (LRV NaN) reflects noticeably more light than Avid Apricot (LRV 62), a difference of NaN points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Avid Apricot runs warm while Blue Hill is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of NaN, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
