Brilliant Amber vs Soft Jazz

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Brilliant Amber belongs to the beige family and Soft Jazz to the blue family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (38 vs 37), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Brilliant Amber runs red while Soft Jazz is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 71.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
