Golden Plumeria vs Splashy
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Golden Plumeria reads as beige, while Splashy reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Golden Plumeria (LRV 67) reflects noticeably more light than Splashy (LRV 21), a difference of 46 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Golden Plumeria runs warm while Splashy is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 78.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
