Golden Tan vs Pewter
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Golden Tan belongs to the beige family and Pewter to the grey family. Golden Tan (LRV 54) reflects noticeably more light than Pewter (LRV 34), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Golden Tan runs red while Pewter is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 38.7, the contrast is hard to miss.
