Fireworks vs Surfer
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Fireworks belongs to the pink-red family and Surfer to the blue family. Surfer (LRV 29) reflects noticeably more light than Fireworks (LRV 17), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Fireworks runs warm while Surfer is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 104.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render.
