Lusty Red vs Naval
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Lusty Red reads as pink-red, while Naval reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

The tonal difference — Lusty Red's warm character against Naval's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 64.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
