Cornwallis Red vs Opulence

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Cornwallis Red belongs to the pink-red family and Opulence to the beige family. Opulence (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Cornwallis Red (LRV 15), a difference of 72 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 74.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
