Azalea Flower vs Starboard

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Azalea Flower reads as pink-red, while Starboard reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Azalea Flower (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Starboard (LRV 11), a difference of 50 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Azalea Flower runs warm while Starboard is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 67.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
