Caribbean Teal vs Shy Cherry
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Caribbean Teal reads as blue-grey, while Shy Cherry reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Caribbean Teal (LRV 20) reflects noticeably more light than Shy Cherry (LRV 14), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Caribbean Teal runs blue while Shy Cherry is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 62.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
