Tarragon vs Tatami Tan
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Tarragon reads as blue-grey, while Tatami Tan reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Tatami Tan (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Tarragon (LRV 7), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Tarragon runs cool while Tatami Tan is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 46.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
