Shoji White vs Sociable
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Shoji White reads as beige-greige, while Sociable reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Shoji White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Sociable (LRV 56), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 21.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
