Begonia vs Hinting Blue
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Begonia reads as pink-red, while Hinting Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Hinting Blue (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Begonia (LRV 26), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Begonia runs warm while Hinting Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 57.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
