Mountain Fig vs Sconce Gold
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Mountain Fig reads as blue-grey, while Sconce Gold reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sconce Gold (LRV 18) reflects noticeably more light than Mountain Fig (LRV 4), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mountain Fig runs cool while Sconce Gold is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 54.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
