Paradise vs Shell White

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Paradise belongs to the yellow family and Shell White to the beige-white family. Shell White (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Paradise (LRV 18), a difference of 66 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Paradise runs neutral while Shell White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 57.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
