Alabaster vs Pale Berry

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Alabaster reads as beige-greige, while Pale Berry reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Alabaster (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Pale Berry (LRV 58), a difference of 28 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Alabaster runs yellow while Pale Berry is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
