Cityscape vs Forsythia
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Cityscape reads as grey, while Forsythia reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Forsythia (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Cityscape (LRV 22), a difference of 41 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cityscape runs neutral while Forsythia is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 88.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
