Embellished Blue vs Glittery Yellow
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Embellished Blue reads as blue-green, while Glittery Yellow reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Glittery Yellow (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Embellished Blue (LRV 79), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Embellished Blue runs cool while Glittery Yellow is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
