Egret White vs Sea Mariner
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Egret White reads as beige-greige, while Sea Mariner reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Egret White (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Sea Mariner (LRV 7), a difference of 63 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Egret White runs warm while Sea Mariner is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 57.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
