Lagoon vs Nutshell
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Lagoon belongs to the blue family and Nutshell to the grey family. Lagoon (LRV 20) reflects noticeably more light than Nutshell (LRV 14), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lagoon runs cool while Nutshell is decidedly warm, 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.
