Grand Canyon vs Guilford Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Grand Canyon belongs to the beige family and Guilford Green to the beige-green family. Guilford Green (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Grand Canyon (LRV 39), a difference of 19 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Grand Canyon runs red while Guilford Green is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 35.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
