Captivating Teal vs Salsa
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Captivating Teal reads as blue, while Salsa reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Captivating Teal (LRV 31) reflects noticeably more light than Salsa (LRV 19), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Captivating Teal runs green and blue while Salsa is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 94.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
