Bellini Fizz vs Blue Beyond

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Bellini Fizz reads as beige, while Blue Beyond reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Bellini Fizz (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Beyond (LRV 45), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bellini Fizz runs warm while Blue Beyond is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 58.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
