Tomato Red vs Tranquil Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Tomato Red belongs to the pink-red family and Tranquil Blue to the blue family. Tranquil Blue (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Tomato Red (LRV 17), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Tomato Red runs red while Tranquil Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 92.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
