Thunderous vs White Iris
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Thunderous reads as grey, while White Iris reads as blue-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Iris (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Thunderous (LRV 15), a difference of 61 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Thunderous runs neutral while White Iris is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 45.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
