Delano Waters vs Sequoia

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Delano Waters belongs to the blue family and Sequoia to the pink family. Delano Waters (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Sequoia (LRV 17), a difference of 44 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Delano Waters runs blue while Sequoia is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 47.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
