Aztec Brick vs Timid White

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Aztec Brick reads as beige-pink, while Timid White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Timid White (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Aztec Brick (LRV 15), a difference of 67 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Aztec Brick runs red while Timid White is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 64.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
