Rendezvous Bay vs Soft Shell
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Rendezvous Bay reads as blue, while Soft Shell reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Soft Shell (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Rendezvous Bay (LRV 26), a difference of 47 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Rendezvous Bay runs blue while Soft Shell is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 46.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
