Rojo Marrón vs Silver Lake

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Rojo Marrón reads as pink, while Silver Lake reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Silver Lake (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. Rojo Marrón 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 58.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
