Fond Memory vs Thunderbird

Fond Memory and Thunderbird come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Fond Memory reads as pink-red, while Thunderbird reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 18-point LRV gap — 73 for Fond Memory vs 55 for Thunderbird — means Fond Memory will open up a space more effectively. Where Fond Memory leans red, Thunderbird reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 25.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
