Ardent Coral vs Ebbtide
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Ardent Coral reads as pink-red, while Ebbtide reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ebbtide (LRV 41) reflects noticeably more light than Ardent Coral (LRV 30), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Ardent Coral runs warm while Ebbtide is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 67.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
