Flan vs Turkish Tile
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Flan reads as beige, while Turkish Tile reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Flan (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Turkish Tile (LRV 16), a difference of 54 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Flan runs warm while Turkish Tile is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 59.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
