Light Salmon vs Lucerne

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Light Salmon reads as beige, while Lucerne reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Light Salmon (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Lucerne (LRV 14), a difference of 54 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Light Salmon runs red while Lucerne is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 59.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
