Abbey Brown vs Decorator's White

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Abbey Brown reads as beige-pink, while Decorator's White reads as green-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Decorator's White (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Abbey Brown (LRV 12), a difference of 70 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Abbey Brown runs red while Decorator's White is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 55.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
