Velvet Cloak vs Woodlawn Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Velvet Cloak reads as pink, while Woodlawn Blue reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Woodlawn Blue (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Velvet Cloak (LRV 5), a difference of 56 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Velvet Cloak runs red while Woodlawn Blue is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 65.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
