Demure vs Niebla Azul
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Demure reads as pink-red, while Niebla Azul reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Demure (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Niebla Azul (LRV 53), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Demure runs warm while Niebla Azul is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 14.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
