Avalon Teal vs Organdy

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Avalon Teal belongs to the blue family and Organdy to the pink family. Organdy (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Avalon Teal (LRV 18), a difference of 47 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Avalon Teal runs blue while Organdy is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
