Swiss Blue vs Tangy Orange
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Swiss Blue belongs to the blue family and Tangy Orange to the beige-pink family. Swiss Blue (LRV 53) reflects noticeably more light than Tangy Orange (LRV 33), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Swiss Blue runs blue while Tangy Orange is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 85.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
