Exotic Red vs Majestic Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Exotic Red belongs to the pink-red family and Majestic Blue to the blue family. Majestic Blue (LRV 31) reflects noticeably more light than Exotic Red (LRV 12), a difference of 19 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Exotic Red runs red while Majestic Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 85.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
