Salmon Stream vs True Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Salmon Stream reads as pink-red, while True Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. True Blue (LRV 46) reflects noticeably more light than Salmon Stream (LRV 17), a difference of 29 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Salmon Stream runs red while True Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 68.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
