Amaryllis vs Cooled Blue

Amaryllis and Cooled Blue come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Amaryllis belongs to the pink-red family and Cooled Blue to the blue family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 41 vs 41 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Amaryllis leans warm, Cooled Blue reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 60.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
