Full Moon vs Lupine

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Full Moon reads as beige, while Lupine reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Full Moon (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Lupine (LRV 16), a difference of 62 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Full Moon runs warm while Lupine is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 65.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
