Glass Bead vs Mauve Tinge
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Glass Bead reads as blue-white, while Mauve Tinge reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (77 vs 76), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Glass Bead runs cool while Mauve Tinge is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
