Manitou Blue vs Rest Assured
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Manitou Blue reads as blue, while Rest Assured reads as blue-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Rest Assured (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Manitou Blue (LRV 26), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 18.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
