Nervy Hue vs Wishful Blue
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Nervy Hue reads as beige-yellow, while Wishful Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Wishful Blue (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Nervy Hue (LRV 56), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Nervy Hue runs warm while Wishful Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 60.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
