Carmine red vs Light blue
Carmine red and Light blue come from the same RAL Classic collection. Carmine red reads as pink-red, while Light blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 12-point LRV gap — 23 for Light blue vs 11 for Carmine red — means Light blue will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 92.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
