Original White vs Rhythmic Blue
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Original White belongs to the greige-grey family and Rhythmic Blue to the blue family. Original White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Rhythmic Blue (LRV 69), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Original White runs warm while Rhythmic Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
