Pumpkin Cream vs Surf Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Pumpkin Cream reads as beige-pink, while Surf Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pumpkin Cream (LRV 26) reflects noticeably more light than Surf Blue (LRV 18), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Pumpkin Cream runs red while Surf Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 82.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
