Gypsy Red vs Snowdrop

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Gypsy Red belongs to the pink-red family and Snowdrop to the blue-white family. Snowdrop (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Gypsy Red (LRV 13), a difference of 67 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gypsy Red runs warm while Snowdrop is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 78.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
