Carbon Copy vs Senses
Where Carbon Copy belongs to Behr's range, Senses is a Jotun color. Carbon Copy reads as grey, while Senses reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Senses (LRV 41) reflects noticeably more light than Carbon Copy (LRV 9), a difference of 32 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Carbon Copy runs green while Senses is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 36.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Living Room
