Indulgent vs Melon Tint
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Indulgent reads as blue, while Melon Tint reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Melon Tint (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Indulgent (LRV 41), a difference of 41 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Indulgent runs cool while Melon Tint is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 38.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
