Secure Blue vs Torchlight

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Secure Blue reads as blue, while Torchlight reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Torchlight (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Secure Blue (LRV 22), a difference of 26 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Secure Blue runs cool while Torchlight is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 67.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
