Lagoon vs Raisin
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Lagoon reads as blue, while Raisin reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lagoon (LRV 20) reflects noticeably more light than Raisin (LRV 3), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lagoon runs cool while Raisin is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 42.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
