Gondola Ride vs Velvet Cloak
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Gondola Ride reads as green, while Velvet Cloak reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Gondola Ride (LRV 9) reflects noticeably more light than Velvet Cloak (LRV 5), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gondola Ride 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 31.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
