French Horn vs Mascarpone
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, French Horn belongs to the beige family and Mascarpone to the beige-yellow family. Mascarpone (LRV 89) reflects noticeably more light than French Horn (LRV 32), a difference of 57 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. French Horn runs red while Mascarpone is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 47.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
