Etiquette vs Opal

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Etiquette reads as beige-greige, while Opal reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Opal (LRV 84) reflects noticeably more light than Etiquette (LRV 74), a difference of 10 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. The ΔE 5.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
