Niebla Azul vs Rojo Marrón

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Niebla Azul reads as blue-grey, while Rojo Marrón reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Niebla Azul (LRV 53) reflects noticeably more light than Rojo Marrón (LRV 4), a difference of 49 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Niebla Azul runs cool while Rojo Marrón is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 58.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
