Marmalade vs Teal

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Marmalade reads as beige, while Teal reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Marmalade (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Teal (LRV 6), a difference of 49 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Marmalade runs red while Teal is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 84.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
