Beachcomber vs Brown Horse

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Beachcomber reads as greige-grey, while Brown Horse reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Beachcomber (LRV 19) reflects noticeably more light than Brown Horse (LRV 12), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 10.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
