Marea Baja vs Nuance
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Marea Baja reads as blue, while Nuance reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Nuance (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Marea Baja (LRV 8), a difference of 67 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Marea Baja runs cool while Nuance is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 58.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
