Porcelain vs Rain Cloud
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Porcelain reads as beige, while Rain Cloud reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Porcelain (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Rain Cloud (LRV 11), a difference of 64 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Porcelain runs warm while Rain Cloud is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 51.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
