Daybreak vs Extra White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Daybreak reads as beige-yellow, while Extra White reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Extra White (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Daybreak (LRV 82), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Daybreak runs warm while Extra White is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
