Galt Blue vs Velvet Cloak
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Galt Blue reads as blue-green, while Velvet Cloak reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Galt Blue (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Velvet Cloak (LRV 5), a difference of 59 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Galt Blue runs green while Velvet Cloak is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 67.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
