Rojo Dust vs Silver Lake
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Rojo Dust belongs to the pink-red family and Silver Lake to the blue-grey family. Silver Lake (LRV 53) reflects noticeably more light than Rojo Dust (LRV 23), a difference of 29 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Rojo Dust 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 41.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
