Aged Bronze vs Normandy

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Aged Bronze reads as beige, while Normandy reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Normandy (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Aged Bronze (LRV 16), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aged Bronze runs red while Normandy is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 33.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
