Dark Night vs Naive Peach
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Dark Night reads as blue, while Naive Peach reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Naive Peach (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Dark Night (LRV 4), a difference of 66 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dark Night runs cool while Naive Peach is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 69.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Naive Peach will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Dark Night would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Naive Peach reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Dark Night.

Digital color is approximate.
