Cinder vs Ivory Tower

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cinder reads as grey, while Ivory Tower reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Ivory Tower (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Cinder (LRV 24), a difference of 62 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 40.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
