Apple Crisp vs Hudson Bay

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Apple Crisp belongs to the beige family and Hudson Bay to the blue family. Apple Crisp (LRV 38) reflects noticeably more light than Hudson Bay (LRV 10), a difference of 28 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Apple Crisp runs red while Hudson Bay is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 73.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
