Bird of Paradise vs Summer Harvest

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Bird of Paradise belongs to the pink-red family and Summer Harvest to the beige family. Summer Harvest (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Bird of Paradise (LRV 29), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bird of Paradise runs red while Summer Harvest is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 54.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
