Faraway Blue vs Rockweed
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Faraway Blue reads as blue, while Rockweed reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Faraway Blue (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Rockweed (LRV 4), a difference of 80 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Faraway Blue runs cool while Rockweed is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of NaN, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
