Regatta vs Sundance

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Regatta belongs to the blue family and Sundance to the beige family. Sundance (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Regatta (LRV 8), a difference of 54 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Regatta runs cool while Sundance is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 88.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
