Carob vs Outer Banks

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Carob reads as beige-greige, while Outer Banks reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Outer Banks (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Carob (LRV 19), a difference of 32 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 28.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
