Buttercream vs Great Plains
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Buttercream belongs to the beige family and Great Plains to the beige-greige family. Buttercream (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Great Plains (LRV 33), a difference of 24 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 17.4, the contrast is hard to miss.
