Pineapple Cream vs Valiant Violet
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Pineapple Cream belongs to the beige-yellow family and Valiant Violet to the blue-purple family. Pineapple Cream (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Valiant Violet (LRV 6), a difference of 76 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Pineapple Cream runs warm while Valiant Violet is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of NaN, the contrast is hard to miss.
