Cabernet vs Stratton Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Cabernet belongs to the grey family and Stratton Blue to the blue-green family. Stratton Blue (LRV 38) reflects noticeably more light than Cabernet (LRV 13), a difference of 25 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cabernet runs red while Stratton Blue is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 33.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
