Normandy vs Tissue Pink
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Normandy reads as blue-grey, while Tissue Pink reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Tissue Pink (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Normandy (LRV 22), a difference of 49 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Normandy runs blue while Tissue Pink is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 41.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
