Blue Veil vs Shy Cherry

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Blue Veil reads as blue-grey, while Shy Cherry reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Blue Veil (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Shy Cherry (LRV 14), a difference of 60 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Veil runs blue while Shy Cherry is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 71.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
