Cast Iron vs Champagne
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Cast Iron reads as grey, while Champagne reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Champagne (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Cast Iron (LRV 13), a difference of 66 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cast Iron runs neutral while Champagne is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
