Feverish Pink vs Stream

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Feverish Pink belongs to the pink-red family and Stream to the blue family. Stream (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Feverish Pink (LRV 17), a difference of 40 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Feverish Pink runs warm while Stream is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 78.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
