Butternut Squash vs Feather Gray

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Butternut Squash reads as beige, while Feather Gray reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Feather Gray (LRV 58) reflects noticeably more light than Butternut Squash (LRV 35), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Butternut Squash runs red while Feather Gray is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 34.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
