Cup o' Java vs Mississippi Mud
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Cup o' Java belongs to the beige-pink family and Mississippi Mud to the grey family. Cup o' Java (LRV 11) reflects noticeably more light than Mississippi Mud (LRV 7), a difference of 4 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 8.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
