English Ivy vs Loveable

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, English Ivy belongs to the blue family and Loveable to the pink-red family. Loveable (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than English Ivy (LRV NaN), a difference of NaN points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. English Ivy runs cool while Loveable is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 75.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
