Jack Pine vs Velvet Cloak

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Jack Pine reads as green-grey, while Velvet Cloak reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Jack Pine (LRV 16) reflects noticeably more light than Velvet Cloak (LRV 5), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Jack Pine runs green while Velvet Cloak is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 33.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
