Apple Crisp vs Deep River

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Apple Crisp belongs to the beige family and Deep River to the grey family. Apple Crisp (LRV 38) reflects noticeably more light than Deep River (LRV 8), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Apple Crisp runs red while Deep River is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 61.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
