Deep Mauve vs Mediterranean Teal
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Deep Mauve belongs to the pink family and Mediterranean Teal to the blue-grey family. Deep Mauve (LRV 20) reflects noticeably more light than Mediterranean Teal (LRV 11), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Deep Mauve runs red while Mediterranean Teal is decidedly green and blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
