Blue Haze vs Tricycle Red
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Blue Haze belongs to the blue family and Tricycle Red to the pink-red family. Blue Haze (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Tricycle Red (LRV 17), a difference of 51 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Haze runs blue while Tricycle Red is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 82.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
