Florida Aqua vs Ruby Dusk

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Florida Aqua belongs to the blue family and Ruby Dusk to the pink family. Florida Aqua (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Ruby Dusk (LRV 9), a difference of 66 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Florida Aqua runs green while Ruby Dusk is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 69.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
