Glass Bead vs Turkish Coffee

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Glass Bead reads as blue-white, while Turkish Coffee reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Glass Bead (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Turkish Coffee (LRV 5), a difference of 73 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Glass Bead runs cool while Turkish Coffee is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 66.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
