Brown Teepee vs Pink Damask

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Brown Teepee reads as pink, while Pink Damask reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pink Damask (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Brown Teepee (LRV 25), a difference of 60 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 40.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
