Oriole vs Rendezvous Bay

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Oriole reads as beige-pink, while Rendezvous Bay reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (29 vs 26), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Oriole runs red while Rendezvous Bay is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 76.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
