Delft vs Studio Mauve
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Delft reads as blue-grey, while Studio Mauve reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Studio Mauve (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Delft (LRV 33), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Delft runs cool while Studio Mauve is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 17.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
