Halo vs Spiced Pumpkin

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Halo reads as beige-greige, while Spiced Pumpkin reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Halo (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Spiced Pumpkin (LRV 19), a difference of 53 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Halo runs yellow while Spiced Pumpkin is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 54.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
