Ebony Slate vs Pink Ruffle
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Ebony Slate reads as blue-grey, while Pink Ruffle reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pink Ruffle (LRV 54) reflects noticeably more light than Ebony Slate (LRV 9), a difference of 45 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Ebony Slate runs blue and purple while Pink Ruffle is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 51.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
