Scanda vs Sun Bleached Ochre

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Scanda reads as blue, while Sun Bleached Ochre reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sun Bleached Ochre (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Scanda (LRV 25), a difference of 22 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Scanda runs cool while Sun Bleached Ochre is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 57.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
