Dazzle vs Friendly Yellow
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Dazzle belongs to the blue family and Friendly Yellow to the beige-yellow family. Friendly Yellow (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Dazzle (LRV 22), a difference of 54 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dazzle runs cool while Friendly Yellow is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 67.2, the contrast is hard to miss.
