Boardwalk vs Swept Away

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Boardwalk belongs to the beige family and Swept Away to the green family. Swept Away (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Boardwalk (LRV 47), a difference of 16 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Boardwalk runs red while Swept Away is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
