Decorator's White vs Peanut Shell

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Decorator's White reads as green-white, while Peanut Shell reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Decorator's White (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Peanut Shell (LRV 35), a difference of 49 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Decorator's White runs neutral while Peanut Shell is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 37.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
