Bluebell vs Macadamia
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Bluebell reads as blue, while Macadamia reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Bluebell (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Macadamia (LRV 49), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bluebell runs cool while Macadamia is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 35.4, 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.
