Bewitching Blue vs Yellow Beam
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Bewitching Blue belongs to the blue family and Yellow Beam to the beige-yellow family. Yellow Beam (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Bewitching Blue (LRV 61), a difference of 24 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bewitching Blue runs cool while Yellow Beam is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.1, the contrast is hard to miss.
