Dried Lavender vs Windswept Canyon

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Dried Lavender reads as blue, while Windswept Canyon reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Windswept Canyon (LRV 43) reflects noticeably more light than Dried Lavender (LRV 29), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dried Lavender runs cool while Windswept Canyon is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 44.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
