Holly Berry vs Secret Garden
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. Secret Garden (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than Holly Berry (LRV 17), a difference of 23 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. With a ΔE of 32.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
