Celestial vs Flan
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Celestial belongs to the blue family and Flan to the beige family. Flan (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Celestial (LRV 44), a difference of 26 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Celestial runs cool while Flan is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 43.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
