Crisp Straw vs Easter Lily

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Crisp Straw belongs to the beige family and Easter Lily to the beige-yellow family. Easter Lily (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Crisp Straw (LRV 68), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Crisp Straw runs red while Easter Lily is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 18.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
