Beachcrest Sand vs Lucerne

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Beachcrest Sand belongs to the beige family and Lucerne to the blue family. Beachcrest Sand (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Lucerne (LRV 14), a difference of 60 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Beachcrest Sand runs red while Lucerne is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 62.3, the contrast is hard to miss.
