Oilcloth vs Parisian Red®
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Oilcloth belongs to the grey family and Parisian Red® to the pink-red family. Oilcloth (LRV 35) reflects noticeably more light than Parisian Red® (LRV 9), a difference of 26 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Oilcloth runs yellow while Parisian Red® is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 45.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
