Brown Horse vs Simply White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Brown Horse belongs to the beige-greige family and Simply White to the beige-white family. Simply White (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Brown Horse (LRV 12), a difference of 78 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Brown Horse runs red while Simply White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 57.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
