Currant Red vs Sheep's Wool
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Currant Red reads as pink-red, while Sheep's Wool reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sheep's Wool (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Currant Red (LRV 12), a difference of 61 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Currant Red runs red while Sheep's Wool is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 66.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
