Fennel Seed vs Northern Cliffs
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Fennel Seed reads as beige, while Northern Cliffs reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Fennel Seed (LRV 58) reflects noticeably more light than Northern Cliffs (LRV 46), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Fennel Seed runs red while Northern Cliffs is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
