Candle Light vs Sea View

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Candle Light reads as beige, while Sea View reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Candle Light (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Sea View (LRV 55), a difference of 22 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Candle Light runs red while Sea View is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 27.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
