Jack Pine vs Old Claret

Jack Pine and Old Claret come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Jack Pine reads as green-grey, while Old Claret reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 16 vs 14 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Jack Pine leans green, Old Claret reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 44.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
