Blue Grotto vs Nasturtium

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Blue Grotto reads as blue, while Nasturtium reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Nasturtium (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Grotto (LRV NaN), a difference of NaN points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Grotto runs cool while Nasturtium is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 107.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
