Cimarron vs White Dove

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cimarron reads as beige-pink, while White Dove reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Dove (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Cimarron (LRV 9), a difference of 74 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cimarron runs red while White Dove is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 65.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
