Aqua-Sphere vs Brick Paver

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Aqua-Sphere reads as blue-grey, while Brick Paver reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Aqua-Sphere (LRV 41) reflects noticeably more light than Brick Paver (LRV 10), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aqua-Sphere runs cool while Brick Paver is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 60.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
