Blue Horizon vs Oleander
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Blue Horizon reads as blue, while Oleander reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Blue Horizon (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Oleander (LRV 66), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Horizon runs cool while Oleander is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
