Jacaranda vs Navel
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Jacaranda belongs to the blue family and Navel to the beige family. Navel (LRV 35) reflects noticeably more light than Jacaranda (LRV 30), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Jacaranda runs cool while Navel is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 95.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
