Rose vs Tantalizing Teal

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Rose reads as pink, while Tantalizing Teal reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Tantalizing Teal (LRV 61) reflects noticeably more light than Rose (LRV 34), a difference of 26 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 47.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
