Carley's Rose vs Redbud

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Carley's Rose reads as pink, while Redbud reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Carley's Rose (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Redbud (LRV 18), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 12.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
