Caliente vs Frostine
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Caliente reads as pink-red, while Frostine reads as green-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Frostine (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Caliente (LRV 9), a difference of 78 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Caliente runs red while Frostine is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 79.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
