Classy Red vs Turquish

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Classy Red belongs to the pink-red family and Turquish to the blue family. Turquish (LRV 27) reflects noticeably more light than Classy Red (LRV 7), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Classy Red runs warm while Turquish is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 94.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
