Faded Denim vs Rural Earth
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Faded Denim belongs to the blue family and Rural Earth to the greige-grey family. Faded Denim (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Rural Earth (LRV 10), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Faded Denim runs blue while Rural Earth is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 50.6, the contrast is hard to miss.
