Regatta vs Sunrise

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Regatta belongs to the blue family and Sunrise to the beige family. Sunrise (LRV 58) reflects noticeably more light than Regatta (LRV 8), a difference of 49 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Regatta runs cool while Sunrise is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 81.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
