Allspice vs Bashful Blue

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Allspice reads as pink, while Bashful Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Bashful Blue (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Allspice (LRV 43), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Allspice runs red while Bashful Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
