Blushing vs Pulsating Blue

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Blushing reads as beige-pink, while Pulsating Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Blushing (LRV 68) reflects noticeably more light than Pulsating Blue (LRV 10), a difference of 57 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Blushing runs warm while Pulsating Blue is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 62.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
