Head Over Heels vs Sheer Pink
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Head Over Heels reads as beige, while Sheer Pink reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sheer Pink (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Head Over Heels (LRV 73), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 1.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

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.
