Deep Poinsettia vs Gray Mirage
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Deep Poinsettia reads as pink-red, while Gray Mirage reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Gray Mirage (LRV 54) reflects noticeably more light than Deep Poinsettia (LRV 13), a difference of 40 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Deep Poinsettia runs red while Gray Mirage is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 51.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
