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