Blue Lace vs Maple Leaf Red

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Blue Lace belongs to the blue-grey family and Maple Leaf Red to the pink-red family. Blue Lace (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Maple Leaf Red (LRV 11), a difference of 55 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Lace runs blue while Maple Leaf Red is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 61.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
