Battenberg vs Sandy Valley

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Battenberg reads as beige-yellow, while Sandy Valley reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Battenberg (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Sandy Valley (LRV 33), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Battenberg runs warm while Sandy Valley is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 35.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
