Caponata vs St. Lucia Teal
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Caponata reads as pink, while St. Lucia Teal reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. St. Lucia Teal (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Caponata (LRV 6), a difference of 37 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Caponata runs red while St. Lucia Teal is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 54.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
