French Moire vs Original White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. French Moire reads as blue, while Original White reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Original White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than French Moire (LRV 47), a difference of 27 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. French Moire runs cool while Original White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
