Equestrian Gray vs Honeywheat

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Equestrian Gray belongs to the greige-grey family and Honeywheat to the beige family. Honeywheat (LRV 67) reflects noticeably more light than Equestrian Gray (LRV 25), a difference of 42 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. With a ΔE of 39.9, the contrast is hard to miss.
