Beachcomber vs Cumulus Cotton

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Beachcomber belongs to the greige-grey family and Cumulus Cotton to the blue family. Cumulus Cotton (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Beachcomber (LRV 19), a difference of 58 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Beachcomber runs red while Cumulus Cotton is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 45.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
