Bella Pink vs Maxi Teal

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Bella Pink reads as pink-red, while Maxi Teal reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Bella Pink (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Maxi Teal (LRV 13), a difference of 51 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bella Pink runs warm while Maxi Teal is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 58.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
