Cup o' Java vs Heartbeat

Cup o' Java and Heartbeat come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Cup o' Java reads as beige-pink, while Heartbeat reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 31-point LRV gap — 42 for Heartbeat vs 11 for Cup o' Java — means Heartbeat will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 42.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
