Antique Red vs Silver Lake
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Antique Red reads as pink-red, while Silver Lake reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Silver Lake (LRV 53) reflects noticeably more light than Antique Red (LRV 12), a difference of 41 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Antique Red runs warm while Silver Lake is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 60.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
