Santorini Blue vs Warm Stone
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Santorini Blue reads as blue, while Warm Stone reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Warm Stone (LRV 20) reflects noticeably more light than Santorini Blue (LRV 14), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Santorini Blue runs cool while Warm Stone is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
