Starry Night vs Studio Clay
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Starry Night reads as blue-grey, while Studio Clay reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Starry Night (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Studio Clay (LRV 27), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Starry Night runs cool while Studio Clay is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.9, the contrast is hard to miss.
