Eye Catching vs Overjoy
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Eye Catching reads as beige-yellow, while Overjoy reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Overjoy (LRV 58) reflects noticeably more light than Eye Catching (LRV 50), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 13.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
