Mountain Dew vs Sourdough
Both from PPG's palette. Mountain Dew reads as blue, while Sourdough reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Mountain Dew (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Sourdough (LRV 62), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 15.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
