Crushed Velvet vs Royal Flush
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Crushed Velvet belongs to the pink-red family and Royal Flush to the pink family. Royal Flush (LRV 12) reflects noticeably more light than Crushed Velvet (LRV 9), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 9.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
