Oceanic Teal vs Orange
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Oceanic Teal reads as blue, while Orange reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Oceanic Teal (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Orange (LRV 18), a difference of 32 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Oceanic Teal runs blue while Orange is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 99.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
