Milano Red vs Palm Trees

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Milano Red reads as pink-red, while Palm Trees reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (24 vs 22), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Milano Red runs red while Palm Trees is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 71.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
