Desert Camel vs Normandy
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Desert Camel belongs to the beige family and Normandy to the blue-grey family. Normandy (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Desert Camel (LRV 16), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Desert Camel runs red while Normandy is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 40.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
