Golden Gate vs Meridian Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Golden Gate belongs to the pink-red family and Meridian Blue to the blue family. Golden Gate (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Meridian Blue (LRV 26), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Golden Gate runs red while Meridian Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 74.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
