Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Gusto Gold belongs to the beige family and Hyper Blue to the blue family.

Gusto Gold runs warm while Hyper Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 119.6, the contrast is hard to miss.
