Bottle of Bordeaux vs Fossil
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Bottle of Bordeaux reads as pink, while Fossil reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Fossil (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Bottle of Bordeaux (LRV 11), a difference of 60 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 57.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
