Florida Orange vs Timid White

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Florida Orange reads as beige, while Timid White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Timid White (LRV 82) reflects noticeably more light than Florida Orange (LRV 61), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Florida Orange runs red while Timid White is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 36.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
