Deep Carnation vs Waterfall

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Deep Carnation reads as pink-red, while Waterfall reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Waterfall (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Deep Carnation (LRV 34), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Deep Carnation runs red while Waterfall is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 63.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
