Antiqued Aqua vs Love Affair
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Antiqued Aqua belongs to the blue family and Love Affair to the pink family. Antiqued Aqua (LRV 32) reflects noticeably more light than Love Affair (LRV 14), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Antiqued Aqua runs green and blue while Love Affair is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 40.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
