Eventide vs Whimsical White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Eventide reads as blue-green, while Whimsical White reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Whimsical White (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Eventide (LRV 41), a difference of 38 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Eventide runs neutral while Whimsical White is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 22.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
