Bubble Tea vs Nocturnal Gray
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Bubble Tea belongs to the pink-red family and Nocturnal Gray to the blue-grey family. Bubble Tea (LRV 23) reflects noticeably more light than Nocturnal Gray (LRV 14), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bubble Tea runs red while Nocturnal Gray is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 52.8, the contrast is hard to miss.
