Azure Tide vs Torchlight
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Azure Tide reads as blue, while Torchlight reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Torchlight (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Azure Tide (LRV 12), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Azure Tide runs cool while Torchlight is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 73.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
