Marshmallow vs St. Bart's

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Marshmallow reads as beige, while St. Bart's reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Marshmallow (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than St. Bart's (LRV 18), a difference of 63 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Marshmallow runs warm while St. Bart's is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 46.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
