Avid Apricot vs Dazzle
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Avid Apricot reads as beige, while Dazzle reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Avid Apricot (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Dazzle (LRV 22), a difference of 40 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Avid Apricot runs warm while Dazzle is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 65.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
