Deep Indigo vs Hillcrest Tan
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Deep Indigo belongs to the grey family and Hillcrest Tan to the beige-greige family. Hillcrest Tan (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Deep Indigo (LRV 8), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Deep Indigo runs purple while Hillcrest Tan is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 36.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
