Lotus Petal vs Waterloo
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Lotus Petal reads as beige-pink, while Waterloo reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lotus Petal (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Waterloo (LRV 13), a difference of 64 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lotus Petal runs warm while Waterloo is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 50.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
