Spa vs Studio Mauve
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Spa reads as blue, while Studio Mauve reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Spa (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Studio Mauve (LRV 50), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Spa runs cool while Studio Mauve is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 24.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
