Calico vs Wine Country

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Calico reads as blue-green, while Wine Country reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Calico (LRV 35) reflects noticeably more light than Wine Country (LRV 4), a difference of 31 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 58.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
