Cherry Burst vs Thunderbird

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cherry Burst reads as pink-red, while Thunderbird reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Thunderbird (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Cherry Burst (LRV 11), a difference of 44 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cherry Burst runs red while Thunderbird is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 79.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
