Colonial Blue vs Point Pleasant

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Colonial Blue reads as blue, while Point Pleasant reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Point Pleasant (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Colonial Blue (LRV 35), a difference of 43 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Colonial Blue runs blue while Point Pleasant is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 40.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
