Bagel vs Debonair
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Bagel belongs to the beige family and Debonair to the blue-grey family. Bagel (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Debonair (LRV 34), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bagel runs warm while Debonair is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 31.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
