Cherry Wine vs Stratton Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cherry Wine reads as pink-red, while Stratton Blue reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Stratton Blue (LRV 38) reflects noticeably more light than Cherry Wine (LRV 16), a difference of 22 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cherry Wine runs red while Stratton Blue is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 57.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
