Fuchsine vs Guilford Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Fuchsine belongs to the pink-red family and Guilford Green to the beige-green family. Guilford Green (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Fuchsine (LRV 12), a difference of 45 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Fuchsine runs red while Guilford Green is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 68.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
