Brazen vs Egyptian Sand

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Egyptian Sand (LRV 31) reflects noticeably more light than Brazen (LRV 22), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Brazen runs red while Egyptian Sand is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
