Blue Echo vs Paper Heart
Both from Behr's palette. Blue Echo reads as blue, while Paper Heart reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Paper Heart (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Echo (LRV 43), a difference of 32 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Echo runs blue while Paper Heart is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 35.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
