Blue Diamond vs Salmon Run

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Blue Diamond reads as blue, while Salmon Run reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Blue Diamond (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Salmon Run (LRV 40), a difference of 29 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Diamond runs blue while Salmon Run is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 60.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
