Cherry Wine vs Marine Aqua
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cherry Wine reads as pink-red, while Marine Aqua reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cherry Wine (LRV 16) reflects noticeably more light than Marine Aqua (LRV 10), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cherry Wine runs red while Marine Aqua is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 69.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
