Bashful vs Wildwood Crest

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Bashful belongs to the beige family and Wildwood Crest to the greige-grey family. Bashful (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Wildwood Crest (LRV 26), a difference of 45 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bashful runs red while Wildwood Crest is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
