Starry Night vs Utaupeia
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Starry Night reads as blue-grey, while Utaupeia reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Starry Night (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Utaupeia (LRV 29), a difference of 40 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Starry Night runs cool while Utaupeia is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 31.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
