Spanish Red vs Yosemite Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Spanish Red belongs to the pink-red family and Yosemite Blue to the blue family. Yosemite Blue (LRV 33) reflects noticeably more light than Spanish Red (LRV 13), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Spanish Red runs red while Yosemite Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 75.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
