Palm Leaf vs Sea Mariner

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Palm Leaf belongs to the beige-yellow family and Sea Mariner to the blue-grey family. Palm Leaf (LRV 10) reflects noticeably more light than Sea Mariner (LRV 7), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Palm Leaf runs warm while Sea Mariner is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
