Corduroy vs Normandy

Corduroy and Normandy come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Corduroy belongs to the beige family and Normandy to the blue-grey family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 22 vs 22 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Corduroy leans red, Normandy reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 51.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
