Cougar Brown vs Saddle Soap
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cougar Brown reads as beige-pink, while Saddle Soap reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cougar Brown (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Saddle Soap (LRV 18), a difference of 7 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. The ΔE 9.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
