Chrysanthemum vs Slick Blue
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Chrysanthemum belongs to the beige-pink family and Slick Blue to the blue family. Slick Blue (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Chrysanthemum (LRV 27), a difference of 25 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Chrysanthemum runs warm while Slick Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 67.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
