Royal Flush vs Stratton Blue

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Royal Flush reads as pink, while Stratton Blue reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Stratton Blue (LRV 38) reflects noticeably more light than Royal Flush (LRV 12), a difference of 26 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Royal Flush runs red while Stratton Blue is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 63.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
