Shy Cherry vs Silken Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Shy Cherry reads as pink-red, while Silken Blue reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Silken Blue (LRV 41) reflects noticeably more light than Shy Cherry (LRV 14), a difference of 28 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Shy Cherry runs red while Silken Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 65.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
