Seashell vs Trailing Vines
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Seashell belongs to the beige-yellow family and Trailing Vines to the greige-grey family. Seashell (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Trailing Vines (LRV 14), a difference of 66 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Seashell runs warm while Trailing Vines is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
