Redbud vs Silver Lake
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Redbud belongs to the pink-red family and Silver Lake to the blue-grey family. Silver Lake (LRV 53) reflects noticeably more light than Redbud (LRV 18), a difference of 35 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Redbud runs warm while Silver Lake is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 48.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
