Mount Etna vs Saddle Up

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Mount Etna reads as blue-grey, while Saddle Up reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Saddle Up (LRV 10) reflects noticeably more light than Mount Etna (LRV 6), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mount Etna runs cool while Saddle Up is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
