Dumpling vs Lavender Wisp
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Dumpling belongs to the beige-greige family and Lavender Wisp to the blue-white family. Lavender Wisp (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Dumpling (LRV 64), a difference of 19 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dumpling runs warm while Lavender Wisp is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 13.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
