Balsam vs Easter Pink
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Balsam belongs to the green family and Easter Pink to the pink family. Easter Pink (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Balsam (LRV 15), a difference of 35 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Balsam runs green while Easter Pink is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 61.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
