Cambridge Riverbed vs Simply White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cambridge Riverbed reads as beige-greige, while Simply White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Simply White (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Cambridge Riverbed (LRV 19), a difference of 70 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cambridge Riverbed runs red while Simply White is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 48.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
