Cinnabar vs Paper Doll
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cinnabar reads as pink-red, while Paper Doll reads as yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Paper Doll (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Cinnabar (LRV 13), a difference of 67 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cinnabar runs red while Paper Doll is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 64.3, 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.
