Shoji White vs Splashy
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Shoji White reads as beige-greige, while Splashy reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Shoji White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Splashy (LRV 21), a difference of 53 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Shoji White runs warm while Splashy is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
