Lagoon vs Venetian Yellow
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Lagoon reads as blue, while Venetian Yellow reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Venetian Yellow (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Lagoon (LRV 20), a difference of 57 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lagoon runs cool while Venetian Yellow 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. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
