Aztec Brick vs Winter Lake

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Aztec Brick belongs to the beige-pink family and Winter Lake to the blue family. Winter Lake (LRV 41) reflects noticeably more light than Aztec Brick (LRV 15), a difference of 26 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aztec Brick runs red while Winter Lake is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 60.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
