Aloe vs Azalea Flower
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Aloe reads as green, while Azalea Flower reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Azalea Flower (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Aloe (LRV 55), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aloe runs cool while Azalea Flower is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 31.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
