Magenta vs St. Lucia Teal
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Magenta reads as pink-red, while St. Lucia Teal reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. St. Lucia Teal (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Magenta (LRV 10), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Magenta runs red while St. Lucia Teal is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 73.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
