Feverish Pink vs Mountain Stream

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Feverish Pink reads as pink-red, while Mountain Stream reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Mountain Stream (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Feverish Pink (LRV 17), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Feverish Pink runs warm while Mountain Stream is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 75.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
