Bison Brown vs Dark Linen
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Bison Brown reads as pink, while Dark Linen reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Dark Linen (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Bison Brown (LRV 9), a difference of 71 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bison Brown runs red while Dark Linen is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 60.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
