Dark Salmon vs Denim Drift
Where Dark Salmon belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Denim Drift is a Dulux color. Dark Salmon reads as pink-red, while Denim Drift reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (25 vs 27), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Dark Salmon runs red while Denim Drift is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 71.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
