Mars Red vs Antique White
Where Mars Red belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Antique White is a Jotun color. Mars Red reads as pink-red, while Antique White reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Antique White (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Mars Red (LRV 11), a difference of 45 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mars Red runs red while Antique White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 52.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
