Original White vs Secure Blue
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Original White reads as greige-grey, while Secure Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Original White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Secure Blue (LRV 22), a difference of 51 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Original White runs warm while Secure Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 41.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
