Harvest Gold vs Icy
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Harvest Gold belongs to the beige family and Icy to the blue family. Icy (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Harvest Gold (LRV 41), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Harvest Gold runs warm while Icy is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 47.3, the contrast is hard to miss.
