Daphne vs Lotus Petal

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Daphne reads as blue, while Lotus Petal reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lotus Petal (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Daphne (LRV 32), a difference of 45 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Daphne runs cool while Lotus Petal is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 32.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
