Shark Gray vs Tomato Cream Sauce
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Shark Gray reads as grey, while Tomato Cream Sauce reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Tomato Cream Sauce (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than Shark Gray (LRV 23), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Shark Gray runs blue while Tomato Cream Sauce is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 34.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
