Glowing Apricot vs Winter Wheat

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the beige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Winter Wheat (LRV 74) reflects noticeably more light than Glowing Apricot (LRV 63), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Glowing Apricot runs red while Winter Wheat is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 21.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
