Captivating Teal vs Kalamata

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Captivating Teal belongs to the blue family and Kalamata to the pink family. Captivating Teal (LRV 31) reflects noticeably more light than Kalamata (LRV 11), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Captivating Teal runs green and blue while Kalamata is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 50.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
