Blue Dragon vs Candle Light

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Blue Dragon reads as blue, while Candle Light reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Candle Light (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Dragon (LRV 28), a difference of 49 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Dragon runs blue while Candle Light is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
