Gray Horse vs Tropical Sand
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Gray Horse belongs to the grey family and Tropical Sand to the beige-pink family. Tropical Sand (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Gray Horse (LRV 49), a difference of 27 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Gray Horse runs yellow while Tropical Sand is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
