Calico vs Rosily
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Calico belongs to the blue-green family and Rosily to the pink-red family. Rosily (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Calico (LRV 35), a difference of 45 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Calico runs cool while Rosily is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.7, 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.
