Etruscan vs Thunder

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Etruscan belongs to the beige family and Thunder to the greige-grey family. Thunder (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Etruscan (LRV 26), a difference of 21 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 32.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
