Radiant Dawn vs Starry Night
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Radiant Dawn belongs to the beige family and Starry Night to the blue-grey family. Radiant Dawn (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Starry Night (LRV 69), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Radiant Dawn runs warm while Starry Night is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 13.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
