Cornwallis Red vs Silver Mist

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Cornwallis Red belongs to the pink-red family and Silver Mist to the blue family. Silver Mist (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Cornwallis Red (LRV 15), a difference of 47 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cornwallis Red runs red while Silver Mist is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 72.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
