Lyons Red vs Prairie Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Lyons Red reads as pink-red, while Prairie Green reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Prairie Green (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Lyons Red (LRV 13), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lyons Red runs red while Prairie Green is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 91.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
