Evening Grove vs River Rock

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Evening Grove (LRV 14) reflects noticeably more light than River Rock (LRV 7), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Evening Grove runs yellow and red while River Rock is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
