Abstracta vs Nacho Cheese

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Abstracta belongs to the beige-yellow family and Nacho Cheese to the beige family. Nacho Cheese (LRV 65) reflects noticeably more light than Abstracta (LRV 58), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Abstracta runs yellow while Nacho Cheese is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 24.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
