Cool Aqua vs Fallen Leaf

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cool Aqua reads as blue, while Fallen Leaf reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cool Aqua (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than Fallen Leaf (LRV 10), a difference of 27 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cool Aqua runs blue while Fallen Leaf is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 68.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
