Blue Note vs Rosewood

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Blue Note reads as blue-grey, while Rosewood reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Rosewood (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Blue Note (LRV 9), a difference of 19 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Note runs blue while Rosewood is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 38.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
