Sea Mariner vs Studio Beige
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Sea Mariner reads as blue-grey, while Studio Beige reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Studio Beige (LRV 46) reflects noticeably more light than Sea Mariner (LRV 7), a difference of 39 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sea Mariner runs cool while Studio Beige is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 45.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
