Barro Verde vs Cruising
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Barro Verde reads as beige-greige, while Cruising reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Barro Verde (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Cruising (LRV 19), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Barro Verde runs warm while Cruising is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 45.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
