Dried Mustard vs Pinch of Clove

Pinch of Clove (LRV 31) reflects noticeably more light than Dried Mustard (LRV 26), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 13.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
