Ladybug Red vs Paper White

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Ladybug Red belongs to the pink-red family and Paper White to the green-grey family. Paper White (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Ladybug Red (LRV 14), a difference of 61 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Ladybug Red runs red while Paper White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 70.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
