Frosted Petal vs In the Midnight Hour
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Frosted Petal reads as beige-pink, while In the Midnight Hour reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Frosted Petal (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than In the Midnight Hour (LRV 10), a difference of 72 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Frosted Petal runs red while In the Midnight Hour is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 61.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
