Blushing Brilliance vs Soft Spruce

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Blushing Brilliance belongs to the pink-red family and Soft Spruce to the blue family. Blushing Brilliance (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Soft Spruce (LRV 27), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blushing Brilliance runs red while Soft Spruce is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 53.1, the contrast is hard to miss.
