Apollo Blue vs Deep Mauve

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Apollo Blue belongs to the blue-grey family and Deep Mauve to the pink family. Apollo Blue (LRV 24) reflects noticeably more light than Deep Mauve (LRV 20), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Apollo Blue runs blue while Deep Mauve is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 24.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
