Fired Brick vs Stargazer
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Fired Brick reads as pink-red, while Stargazer reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Stargazer (LRV 17) reflects noticeably more light than Fired Brick (LRV 8), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Fired Brick runs warm while Stargazer is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 50.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
