Feather Down vs Marble Canyon

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Feather Down (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Marble Canyon (LRV 56), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Feather Down runs yellow and red while Marble Canyon is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 12.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
