Begonia vs Studio Blue Green

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Begonia reads as pink-red, while Studio Blue Green reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Begonia (LRV 26) reflects noticeably more light than Studio Blue Green (LRV 20), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Begonia runs warm while Studio Blue Green is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 54.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
