Bonsai vs Straw Hat

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Bonsai belongs to the beige-greige family and Straw Hat to the beige family. Straw Hat (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Bonsai (LRV 13), a difference of 44 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bonsai runs yellow while Straw Hat is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 41.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
