Buckhorn vs White Down

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Buckhorn reads as beige-greige, while White Down reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Down (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Buckhorn (LRV 18), a difference of 58 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 42.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
