Blue Lace vs Lyons Red

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Blue Lace belongs to the blue-grey family and Lyons Red to the pink-red family. Blue Lace (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Lyons Red (LRV 13), a difference of 54 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Lace runs blue while Lyons Red is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 69.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
