Thermal Spring vs Windfresh White

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Thermal Spring reads as blue, while Windfresh White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Windfresh White (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Thermal Spring (LRV 21), a difference of 48 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Thermal Spring runs cool while Windfresh White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 44.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
