Bunglehouse Blue vs Napery
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Bunglehouse Blue reads as blue, while Napery reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Napery (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Bunglehouse Blue (LRV 11), a difference of 63 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bunglehouse Blue runs cool while Napery is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 56.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
