Dragonfly vs Tomato Tango
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Dragonfly reads as blue, while Tomato Tango reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

Dragonfly runs blue while Tomato Tango is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 76.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
