Honey Bees vs Liberty Blue
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Honey Bees belongs to the beige family and Liberty Blue to the blue family. Liberty Blue (LRV NaN) reflects noticeably more light than Honey Bees (LRV 70), a difference of NaN points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Honey Bees runs warm while Liberty Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of NaN, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
