Aviary Blue vs Stone Fruit

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Aviary Blue reads as blue, while Stone Fruit reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Aviary Blue (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Stone Fruit (LRV 47), a difference of 26 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aviary Blue runs cool while Stone Fruit is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 48.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
