Parakeet vs Veri Berri

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Parakeet belongs to the beige-yellow family and Veri Berri to the grey family. Parakeet (LRV 41) reflects noticeably more light than Veri Berri (LRV 21), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Parakeet runs warm while Veri Berri is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 67.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
