Buena Vista Gold vs Taro
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Buena Vista Gold belongs to the beige family and Taro to the pink-purple family. Buena Vista Gold (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Taro (LRV 9), a difference of 40 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Buena Vista Gold runs red while Taro is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 69.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
