Alabaster vs Island Sunset

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Alabaster belongs to the beige-greige family and Island Sunset to the pink family. Alabaster (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Island Sunset (LRV 44), a difference of 41 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Alabaster runs yellow while Island Sunset is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 43.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
