Placid Sea vs True Copper

Both from Behr's palette. Hue-wise, Placid Sea belongs to the blue family and True Copper to the beige-pink family. Placid Sea (LRV 23) reflects noticeably more light than True Copper (LRV 13), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Placid Sea runs blue while True Copper is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 66.5, the contrast is hard to miss.
