Brush Beige vs Kangaroo

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Kangaroo (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Brush Beige (LRV 38), a difference of 6 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. The ΔE 5.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
