Lunar Lite vs Modern Lavender
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Lunar Lite reads as greige-grey, while Modern Lavender reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lunar Lite (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Modern Lavender (LRV 40), a difference of 32 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lunar Lite runs warm while Modern Lavender is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
