Ellie Gray vs Hyper Blue
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Ellie Gray reads as grey, while Hyper Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ellie Gray (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than Hyper Blue (LRV 10), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Ellie Gray runs neutral while Hyper Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 50.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
