Skydive vs Velvet Cloak
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Skydive reads as blue, while Velvet Cloak reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Skydive (LRV 41) reflects noticeably more light than Velvet Cloak (LRV 5), a difference of 36 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Skydive runs green and blue while Velvet Cloak is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 59.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
