Blue Chip vs Sundance

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Blue Chip reads as blue, while Sundance reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sundance (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Chip (LRV 13), a difference of 49 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Chip runs cool while Sundance is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 98.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
