Golden Lab vs Oriental Iris

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Golden Lab belongs to the beige family and Oriental Iris to the blue family. Golden Lab (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Oriental Iris (LRV 52), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Golden Lab runs red while Oriental Iris is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 43.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
