Hemlock vs Tangerine Mist

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Hemlock belongs to the blue family and Tangerine Mist to the beige family. Tangerine Mist (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Hemlock (LRV 29), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Hemlock runs blue while Tangerine Mist is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 46.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
