Starry Night vs White Sand
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Starry Night reads as blue-grey, while White Sand reads as greige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Sand (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Starry Night (LRV 69), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Starry Night runs cool while White Sand is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
