Crestwood Tan vs Nautilus Shell

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Nautilus Shell (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Crestwood Tan (LRV 61), a difference of 14 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 15.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
