Intricate Ivory vs Starry Night
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Intricate Ivory reads as beige, while Starry Night reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Intricate Ivory (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Starry Night (LRV 69), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Intricate Ivory runs warm while Starry Night is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 14.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
