Pinkish vs Sea Mariner
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Pinkish belongs to the beige-pink family and Sea Mariner to the blue-grey family. Pinkish (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Sea Mariner (LRV 7), a difference of 77 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Pinkish runs warm while Sea Mariner is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 63.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
