Alpaca vs Cayman Islands

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Cayman Islands (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Alpaca (LRV 59), a difference of 7 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. The ΔE 5.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
