Classical Yellow vs Orange Blast

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Classical Yellow reads as beige-yellow, while Orange Blast reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Classical Yellow (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Orange Blast (LRV 63), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 10.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
