Alexandria Beige vs Candle Light
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Alexandria Beige belongs to the beige-greige family and Candle Light to the beige family. Candle Light (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Alexandria Beige (LRV 29), a difference of 48 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 29.0, the contrast is hard to miss.
