Million Dollar Red vs Tropical Teal
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Million Dollar Red reads as pink-red, while Tropical Teal reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Tropical Teal (LRV 21) reflects noticeably more light than Million Dollar Red (LRV 13), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Million Dollar Red runs red while Tropical Teal is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 93.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
