Teal Stencil vs Tuberose
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Teal Stencil reads as blue-grey, while Tuberose reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Tuberose (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Teal Stencil (LRV 19), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Teal Stencil runs cool while Tuberose is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
