Scanda vs Venetian Lace

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Scanda belongs to the blue family and Venetian Lace to the beige family. Venetian Lace (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Scanda (LRV 25), a difference of 61 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Scanda runs cool while Venetian Lace is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 47.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
