Silent Ripple vs Travertine

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Silent Ripple reads as blue, while Travertine reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Silent Ripple (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Travertine (LRV 68), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Silent Ripple runs cool while Travertine is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 23.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
