Alabaster vs Raspberry Blush

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Alabaster reads as beige-greige, while Raspberry Blush reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Alabaster (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Raspberry Blush (LRV 23), a difference of 62 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Alabaster runs yellow while Raspberry Blush is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 65.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
