Lakeside vs Nankeen
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Lakeside reads as blue-grey, while Nankeen reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lakeside (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Nankeen (LRV 24), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lakeside runs cool while Nankeen is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 52.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
