Blue Spruce vs Peatmoss

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Blue Spruce reads as blue-grey, while Peatmoss reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Blue Spruce (LRV 17) reflects noticeably more light than Peatmoss (LRV 11), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Spruce runs blue while Peatmoss is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
