Biscay vs Lemon Meringue

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Biscay reads as blue, while Lemon Meringue reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lemon Meringue (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Biscay (LRV 27), a difference of 55 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Biscay runs cool while Lemon Meringue is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 53.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
