Spring Sky vs Vermilion

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Spring Sky belongs to the blue family and Vermilion to the pink-red family. Spring Sky (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Vermilion (LRV 15), a difference of 48 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Spring Sky runs blue while Vermilion is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 91.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
