Fruit Punch vs Windham Cream

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. Windham Cream (LRV 79) reflects noticeably more light than Fruit Punch (LRV 37), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Fruit Punch runs red while Windham Cream is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 57.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
