Sangria vs Timid White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Sangria reads as pink-red, while Timid White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Timid White (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Sangria (LRV 13), a difference of 69 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sangria runs red while Timid White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 69.2, 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.
