Aegean Teal vs Espresso Bark
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Aegean Teal belongs to the blue-grey family and Espresso Bark to the beige-pink family. Aegean Teal (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Espresso Bark (LRV 8), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aegean Teal runs blue while Espresso Bark is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 31.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
