Abalone vs Pashmina

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Abalone belongs to the greige-grey family and Pashmina to the beige-greige family. Abalone (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Pashmina (LRV 44), a difference of 18 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 11.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
