Jack Pine vs Toasted Mauve

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Jack Pine reads as green-grey, while Toasted Mauve reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Toasted Mauve (LRV 32) reflects noticeably more light than Jack Pine (LRV 16), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Jack Pine runs green while Toasted Mauve is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 40.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
