Candid Blue vs Weathervane

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Candid Blue reads as blue, while Weathervane reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Candid Blue (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Weathervane (LRV 2), a difference of 46 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Candid Blue runs cool while Weathervane is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 71.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
